'Tough To Digest': India's Hardik Pandya Reacts To His ICC Cricket World Cup 2023-Ending Injury News
India's Hardik Pandya took to social media to share his disappointment after being ruled out of the remainder of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 through injury.
Pandya wrote the following:
"Tough to digest the fact that I will miss out on the remaining part of the World Cup. I'll be with the team, in spirit, cheering them on every ball of every game. Thanks for all the wishes, the love, and the support has been incredible. This team is special and I'm sure we'll make everyone proud. Love, always, HP," He wrote.
India have roped in pacer Prasidh Krishna as Pandya's replacement for the rest of the Cricket World Cup. Krishna, who has just 17 One Day Internationals under his belt,?is vastly inexperienced compared to Pandya and is expected to provide backup to the in-form Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah.?
India, meanwhile, are already through to the semi-finals of the competition, becoming the first team to achieve the feat. The Men in Blue take on South Africa next on November 5, 2023, in a battle of the top two teams in the league stage.?
