00:00 In a blow to India's unstoppable World Cup 2023 journey, the International Cricket Council
00:07 dropped a bombshell this Saturday.
00:10 Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been sidelined from the rest of the tournament.
00:15 The renowned Indian all-rounder, who suffered an unfortunate ankle twist and an awkward
00:20 landing during the intense battle against Bangladesh in Pune on October 19, had to hobble
00:26 away from the field and, regrettably, was unable to continue playing.
00:31 Subsequently, he found himself on the sidelines, absent from India's following three crucial
00:36 matches against New Zealand, England and Sri Lanka.
00:41 The ICC said in its statement, "Pandya hurt his left ankle while bowling against India's
00:46 World Cup match against Bangladesh in Pune last month and it has been now confirmed that
00:52 the 30-year-old has failed to recover in time to part to the rest of the campaign."
00:58 Initially dismissed as a mere ankle sprain, Hardik's injury took a more ominous turn when
01:03 a ligament tear was diagnosed.
01:05 Despite being classified as a Grade 1 injury with an expected recovery period of 10-15
01:11 days, it appears the damage is more severe than anticipated.
01:16 This revelation is a significant blow to India's World Cup aspirations.
01:21 Hardik Pandya's contributions with the bat as a finisher and his invaluable role as the
01:26 team's sixth bowling option were pivotal to India's success.
01:31 With his exit, India has turned to the likes of Mohd.
01:34 Shami and Surya Kumar Yadav to fill the void, a strategy aimed at compensating for the absence
01:40 of the star all-rounder.
01:43 Stepping into Pandya's shoes is none other than the resilient fast bowler Prasidh Krishna,
01:48 making a remarkable comeback after a year-long injury ordeal.
01:52 Prasidh, the chosen replacement for Hardik, boasts a track record of 19 appearances for
01:58 India spanning across ODIs and T20s, where he has managed to secure an impressive tally
02:05 of 33 wickets.
02:07 His journey wasn't without hurdles, as he had to recover from a lumbar stress fracture.
02:14 Keeping him on the sidelines for nearly a year, the fracture was a mere part in his
02:19 journey.
02:20 Prasidh marked his triumphant return during the T20s against Ireland, where he showcased
02:26 his skills by delivering good figures.
02:30 Initially left out of India's World Cup squad, Prasidh didn't let disappointment deter him.
02:35 He represented Karnataka in the ongoing Syed Mustaq Ali Trophy, India's premier domestic
02:41 T20 tournament, and showcased his mettle and consistent performances.
02:47 After his official exit from the World Cup, Hardik shared an emotional post on X saying,
02:52 "Tough to digest the fact that I'll miss out on the remaining part of the World Cup.
02:58 I'll be with the team in spirit, cheering them on every ball of every game.
03:03 Thanks for all the wishes, the love and the support has been incredible.
03:08 This team, it's special and I'm sure we will make everyone proud.
03:13 Love always, HP."
03:16 In the end, the Indian cricket team faces a formidable challenge as they move forward
03:20 in the World Cup without their star all-rounder Hardik Pandya, whose injury turned out to
03:25 be more severe than initially thought.
03:28 In his absence, the resilient Prasidh Krishna steps in, bringing his own brand of skill
03:33 and determination to the team.
03:36 Hardik's journey, marked by his recovery from a lumbar stress fracture, reflects his
03:41 unwavering commitment to the sport.
03:44 As India seeks to continue their remarkable winning streak, they rely on a new balance
03:49 of talents, including the likes of Mohd.
03:51 Shami and Surya Kumar Yadav, in an effort to compensate for the absence of their dynamic
03:56 all-rounder.
03:57 The road ahead is uncertain, but cricket fans worldwide remain hopeful for India's continued
04:03 success in the tournament.
