He had undergone a successful surgery in London and was seen posing on his hospital bed wearing a premium and expensive watch which surprised his fans. As expected, Pandya has not been selected for the ongoing limited-overs series against West Indies. In fact, it was reported that the all-rounder would only be back in action during the IPL 2020.
