India ace all-rounder Hardik Pandya got injured while bowling his first over of the match against Bangladesh at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday, October 19, 2023. The matter has become serious as he has been taken to the hospital for scans. 

Playing his fourth ICC World Cup match in a row, the 30-year-old tried to stop the ball when Litton Das hit a straight drive which eventually went for a four. Pandya had stretched his right foot but was not able to get to the ball. Instead, he got injured and walked off the field limping.
