Soon after India's all-rounder Hardik Pandya shared a picture of himself along with the daughter of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and said that he missed both of them, Sakshi Dhoni responded by reminding him that he has a home in Ranchi too. This comes after the all-rounder who has been out of action for over two months due to a lower back injury, took to Instagram to post a picture of himself with former skipper MS Dhoni and his daughter Ziva and captioned it, "Miss this little one. (and the big guy too)." Mrs Captain Cool was quick to comment, "Awwww. You know you have a home in Ranchi too, right?" Pandya is not expected to return to the game for at least another three months owing to his injury while MS Dhoni, who was last seen at the World Cup in England, has made himself unavailable until the end of November.
Hardik Pandya's Surgery
Hardik Pandya successfully underwent surgery for his lower-back injury last week. The Indian all-rounder was injured during the Asia Cup in UAE last year. However, Hardik Pandya recovered in time to play the 12th season of Indian Premier League (IPL) and the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup in England. The injury once again resurfaced after India’s home T20I series against South Africa last month. Hardik Pandya travelled to London earlier this month with Team India physiotherapist Yogesh Parmar.
Hardik Pandya post World Cup 2019
Hardik Pandya got a much-deserved break after ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 where India had finished as the semi-finalists. He did not take part in India's successful Caribbean tour that had succeeded in the quadrennial event. Pandya made his comeback in the three-match T20I series against South Africa last month. Nonetheless, he could not make much of an impact as he could only manage two wickets and 14 runs in the two matches that he had played as the series was tied at 1-1 with one match being washed out. The Baroda all-rounder is expected to stay out of cricketing action for a minimum of 12-16 weeks. He is likely to be declared match-fit before the thirteenth edition of IPL next year.
