India’s standout all-rounder, Hardik Pandya, is taking a well-deserved break before the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh, which kicks off on October 6. The 30-year-old cricketer was recently involved in India’s white-ball tour of Sri Lanka, featuring in the three-match T20I series against the island nation.
After the Sri Lanka series, the fast-bowling all-rounder is taking a break from cricket. He shared a photo on Instagram where he is seen basking in the sun and relishing the beach waves during his downtime.
The Indian all-rounder continues to be a crucial player for the white-ball team and is widely regarded as one of the top all-rounders of his era. His rare combination of wicket-taking skills and the ability to score substantial runs sets him apart from many players.
As Hardik Pandya takes a well-earned break and prepares for his upcoming duties, it’s essential that he returns to full fitness and avoids any further injury issues.
Injuries have significantly impacted Pandya’s career, notably his ankle injury during the ODI World Cup 2023 against Bangladesh, which cut his campaign short. His presence could have been a game-changer for India in the final against Australia in Ahmedabad.
Looking ahead, the Indian team is set to face Bangladesh in a two-match Test series at home, starting September 19. The series will kick off in Chennai, with the second Test scheduled for Kanpur.
India’s upcoming T20I series will see matches hosted in Gwalior, Delhi, and Hyderabad. Hardik Pandya will be eager to make a comeback and secure a consistent place in the squad, aiming to put his injury concerns behind him and contribute effectively for his team.
