India’s integral white-ball player, Hardik Pandya, has resumed training post an ankle injury that halted his participation in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The injury transpired during a match against Bangladesh in Pune, where a twist in his ankle occurred while attempting to stop a straight drive.
Now leading Mumbai Indians, the 30-year-old cricketer showcased his positive start to 2024 with an Instagram reel featuring gym workouts, accompanied by the caption “Progress, everyday ✌🏽.”

The post not only highlighted Pandya’s dedication but also featured his son Agastya and his pets. Despite the potential absence in India’s upcoming T20Is against Afghanistan, Pandya aims to attain full fitness for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. Initially earmarked as India’s next T20I captain, his recent injury has temporarily deferred this decision.
Rohit Sharma is expected to continue leading India in the T20I series against Afghanistan, commencing on January 11. Decisions regarding India’s T20I captaincy for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, hosted in the West Indies and the United States of America, are deferred until after IPL 2024. Pandya’s return holds immense significance, not only for Mumbai Indians but also for India’s T20 aspirations, where the dynamic all-rounder plays a pivotal role.
The delay in his captaincy appointment adds an element of suspense to India’s T20 plans, while Rohit Sharma temporarily takes charge in his absence against Afghanistan. As Pandya gears up for a comeback, the cricketing community eagerly anticipates his role in both the IPL and India’s T20 international campaigns, adding excitement and optimism to the cricketing landscape.
