Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma
IND vs. AUS: The Indian cricket team will take on Australia in a three-match ODI series starting on Friday. In the first match of this series, Hardik Pandya will lead the team. The series against Australia is the biggest opportunity for the India team to prepare for the ODI World. For the preparations for this tournament, Hardik has now given a big announcement.
Hardik said we will miss these players
Hardik Pandya said the absence of the injured Shreyas Iyer will affect India’s preparations for the ODI World Cup later this year. Iyer has been ruled out of the three-match ODI against Australia which starts on Friday due to a back injury and there is no set time frame as to when he will be able to return.
Iyer will also be out of IPL
Shreyas Iyer is also likely to be left out of the early IPL matches. Pandya said that there is definitely no deadline for his comeback, but we hope for the best. We wish him a speedy recovery. His absence will have an impact and of course we will miss him, but if he does not return soon, we will have to find a solution. India’s injured player list also includes fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who recently underwent back surgery in New Zealand. His goal is to make a comeback until the World Cup.
India will play in the first ODI without regular skipper Rohit Sharma, who has been ruled out for family reasons. Pandya said that in his absence, Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill will open the innings.
