Hardik Pandya Recovered From Injury, Bowling In Full Rhythm; Will Return In IPL

Hardik did not play on the tour of South Africa and also in the T20 series against Australia. He was considered to be the captain of India in the T20 World Cup 2024, but due to injury, he has lagged in this race.

Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has started bowling in full swing after recovering from his ankle injury. This indicates that he is ready for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League, where he will captain the Mumbai Indians. Hardik has not played any cricket since he suffered an ankle injury during the World Cup last year. Hardik Pandya shared a video on his Instagram, in which he was bowling.

"It feels good to be back. My journey started on this very ground 17 years ago," Pandya said. Pandya was also seen bowling some balls and doing some running exercises. Hardik wrote, "I am giving my all every day."

Pandya was named captain of Mumbai Indians on December 15, replacing the highly successful Rohit Sharma following a high-profile trade from Gujarat Titans last year. Hardik has been out of the Indian team since he suffered an injury during the World Cup match against Bangladesh in November. He missed the home T20 series against Afghanistan earlier this month.

Hardik did not play on the tour of South Africa and also in the T20 series against Australia. He was considered to be the captain of India in the T20 World Cup 2024, but due to injury, he has lagged in this race. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli returned to the Indian T20 team after 14 months in the T20 series against Afghanistan. Both the players showed that they were in good form. In such a situation, it seems certain that both of them will play in the T20 World Cup. If Rohit plays in the World Cup, his captaincy is also certain.
