Hardik Pandya Ruled Out Of Australia Tour Due To Injury
India faced a major setback as Hardik Pandya sustained a left quadriceps injury during the Asia Cup 2025, which also kept him out of the final against Pakistan. Due to this injury, the all-rounder has been excluded from India’s ODI and T20I squads for the upcoming tour of Australia. Following the three ODIs, India will play five T20Is, but Hardik will remain unavailable while recovering.
The 31-year-old was advised to take four weeks of rest. So far, he has featured in 94 ODIs and 120 T20Is, scoring 1,904 runs and taking 91 wickets in the 50-over format. In T20Is, he has accumulated 1,860 runs alongside 98 wickets.
Missing their premier fast-bowling all-rounder for a crucial series Down Under could impact India’s team balance. Hardik’s presence often allows India to field an additional batter, strengthening their batting depth in limited-overs cricket.
