Hardik Pandya's fitness a concern for India
Meanwhile, during the India vs Bangladesh game on October 19, the India all-rounder trying to stop the ball, twisted his ankle. His over was completed by former India skipper Virat Kohli bowled his over. After this, Pandya didn't come back to play the game. Not to forget, he didn't come out to bat with the two-time winners winning the game by seven wickets. Now, the all-rounder has been ruled out of the upcoming game against New Zealand. It will be interesting to see how the playing XI pans out for the next game.
