Hardik Pandya: Team India is now just two steps away from its second T20 World Cup title. The Rohit Sharma-led team will play the semi-final match against England on 27 June. In this match, the Men in Blue will try to defeat the opposition team and secure their place in the title match.

However, this is not going to be easy. In fact, this team has suffered a major setback before the final-4 match. All-rounder Hardik Pandya has been badly injured. There is a question mark on the 30-year-old player's playing in the upcoming matches. Let us know in detail what information has come out about Hardik's fitness.

Hardik Pandya got injured before the semi-finals

Actually this incident is from the India-Australia match. Hardik Pandya came to bowl the 20th over of the innings. The fourth ball of the over did not make any contact with the bat of Kangaroo player Mitchell Starc who was on strike.

The ball went straight into the gloves of wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. However, after catching the ball, Pant threw the ball towards Hardik.

It came at such a high speed that it hit the 30-year-old all-rounder's hands quite hard. In the next moment, Hardik Pandya could be seen groaning. Not only this player but also the team captain Rohit Sharma got angry at this and both of them looked at Rishabh with angry eyes. However, on the other hand, 26-year-old Rishabh Pant was seen laughing.

Question mark on playing against England

Hardik Pandya made his international cricket debut for India in 2016. However, his career has been affected by injuries.

During a match in the 2018 Asia Cup, this player had to be taken on a stretcher after getting injured. After this, he was out of the entire tournament.

At the same time, Hardik injured his ankle against Bangladesh in the ODI World Cup last year. Due to this, the 30-year-old all-rounder of Team India could not play the remaining matches. In such a situation, there is a question mark on his playing against England in the T20 World Cup 2024. There has been no update on his fitness from the team management.
