Star All-rounder's Absence In Indian Team To Continue?

Hardik Pandya surely evolved as a player in recent times. He established himself as a dependable all-rounder and produced match-winning performances many times. His presence in the team brings a great balance. He can bowl ten overs and pick up cruel wickets. If needed he can launch an aggressive attack with the bat.

But the star all-rounder missed a few matches in the ongoing World Cup due to his injury. Now it is said that he might miss a few more matches and his absence from the Indian Team might be longer.

Hardik Pandya might not play tomorrow's match against Sri Lanka and might also miss the next match with South Africa. If the reports are to be believed then Hardik Pandya might join the team for the last league match. It would not be a wonder if the all-rounder joins the team for the Semis fight directly.

Reports say that the Indian team is not in a hurry to bring him back and wants to use him for the crucial matches. India is in a good space and we would go to the semis even if lose two matches and India would face a tough fight in only one match.

If he is rushed into the team and injures himself again, then it's a big issue and India cannot the risk. So he might take some time to get back to the team.

Even in his absence, the team is looking strong. Mohammed Shami came into the team in his place and is giving crucial breakthroughs for the team. So there is no urgency in his return. Shami took a fifer and came close to a fifer in the match against England.
