Men’s ODI WC: India Will Not Have The Kind Of Balance Used To In First Four Games, Says Dravid On Pandya’s Absence
ODI World Cup: India coach Rahul Dravid admitted that injury to vice-captain and all-rounder Hardik Pandya has meant the team will not be having the balance it had in first four games ahead of its top-of-the-table Men’s ODI World Cup clash against New Zealand at the HPCA Stadium on Sunday.
Pandya has been ruled out of India's match against New Zealand after injuring his left ankle in their previous match against Bangladesh at the MCA Stadium in Pune. While trying to stop a boundary hit by Litton Das on third ball of the ninth over, Pandya seemed to twist his left ankle in his follow-through after slipping in the process of saving the four and went off the field, to not participate in rest of the game.
“Hardik is an important player for us and he is an important all-rounder so helps us really balance our squad out really well. But he is going to be missing this game, so we will have to work around that and see what is the best combination and what we can come up with best.”
