NEW DELHI: India suffered an unexpected setback in their match against Bangladesh in the ongoing ODI World Cup as all-rounder Hardik Pandya was forced to leave the field due to an ankle injury. The incident unfolded during the ninth over of the game, adding a dramatic twist to the encounter.
Pandya's misfortune struck during the third delivery of the ninth over when he attempted to halt a powerful straight drive from Bangladesh's opener, Litton Das. Using his right foot in a follow-through attempt, Pandya aimed to stop the ball. Regrettably, this effort led to an ankle twist, causing the all-rounder to stumble and take a painful tumble to the ground.
