The nature of the injury is yet to be known but it’ll cost India in the game. Hardik Pandya has chipped in really well with the ball in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023. His absence means India will have just five specialized bowlers and Bangladesh have utilized that well as they targeted Shardul Thakur.
Earlier in the game, Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat first. They were very cautious in the start but once they had their eye on it, they took Indian bowlers to the the cleaners. Both Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan have batted magnificently well and have added over 71 runs partnership, which is the highest for Bangladesh in World Cups.
IND vs BAN: Virat Kohli bowls the remaining three deliveries of Hardik Pandya’s over
After Hardik Pandya went off the field, captain Rohit Sharma handed the ball to Virat Kohli. The crowd erupted in joy as this happened and they were cheating “Kohli Kohli”.
Virat Kohli bowled three deliveries very well. He was right on the target and gave away just 2 runs in the three balls he bowled. It remains to be seen if Rohit Sharma will turn up to him any further in the game or not.
