Star Indian all-rounder, Hardik Pandya, is expected to miss the T20I series against Afghanistan due to an ankle injury. However, sources have revealed that he will be fit in time for the Indian Premier League (IPL). Pandya, who was part of India’s ICC cricket World Cup squad, played four matches in the tournament, taking five wickets and scoring 11* against Australia before his injury forced him out of the competition. Since then, he has been absent from international cricket, missing series against Australia and South Africa. Suryakumar Yadav and KL Rahul have led the team in his absence. The upcoming T20I series against Afghanistan will be India’s final international assignment before the ICC T20 World Cup in June. In a recent trade, Pandya moved from Gujarat Titans (GT) to the Mumbai Indians (MI), where he will take on the responsibility of leading the team. Pandya had a successful stint with GT, helping them win the championship in their debut season and finish as runners-up in the following year. Throughout his career, Pandya has showcased his skills with both bat and ball, accumulating impressive stats for both GT and MI. He has won a total of five IPL titles, four with MI and one with GT.
