Delhi:Hardik Pandya is going through a bad phase since T20 World Cup 2026. Instead of decreasing, their problems are increasing. In IPL 2026, he was a flop in terms of captaincy and performance. He suffered a quadriceps problem during the tournament, due to which he had to be ruled out of the ODI series against Afghanistan. The bad news for the fans is that due to this injury, dark clouds are looming over Pandya’s performance in the upcoming ODI series against England.

Big information on Pandya’s fitness

According to a recent report in The Times of India, right-handed all-rounder Hardik Pandya will completely follow all the training routines set by the BCCI Center of Excellence. The report further states that Hardik can start light jogging and running from this weekend, after which he can start practicing in the nets again soon.

Pandya can play ODI series against England

Hardik Pandya will not take part in the T20 series against Ireland and England. However, if his entire fitness routine progresses in the right direction as per the plan, then it will be a matter of relief for the fans that Pandya can make a comeback on the field in the ODI series against England.

The selectors have not given Pandya a place in Team India’s squad for the Asian Games, where all the matches will be played in T20 format. This great cricket competition will start from 24th September on the stage of Asian Games.

Pandya’s fitness is important for India

Even though Pandya’s performance in IPL was shameful, there is no doubt that he is one of the biggest match winners of Team India. The Indian team will participate in the ODI World Cup in 2027. To be victorious in such a big tournament, it is very important to have an all-rounder like Pandya in the team.

Nitish Reddy has a big opportunity

In the absence of Hardik Pandya, Nitish Reddy has got a place in the Indian team. He has a golden opportunity to cement his place in the team by performing well. He took two wickets in the first match of the ODI series against Afghanistan.
