"Hardik is injured, so he couldn't travel for a couple of games," Thakur said at the post-match media interaction on Thursday. Down with back spasm, Pandya first missed MI's home game against Lucknow Super Giants on May 4 and then sat out the clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Raipur despite travelling with the squad.
