Why wasn’t Hardik Pandya in the lineup for such an important match? Fans were shocked to see him missing from the XI.
In a crucial game against LSG, Mumbai Indians played without their captain and key all-rounder, leaving a big gap in the team.
Rumours spread fast. Was it injury, rest, or something else? The real reason was personal, but the timing was sudden, making fans curious.
Stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav said Hardik was “not well.” Later, it was revealed that Hardik missed the match due to back spasms.
Rickelton said he learned about Hardik’s back spasms only that afternoon. He’s unsure about the injury’s severity but hopes Hardik will rejoin the team in Raipur.
Even without Hardik's presence, the Mumbai Indians comfortably won the game and somehow stayed in the hunt to qualify for the playoffs.
Will Hardik Pandya return soon, or does this break mean something more? Fans are eagerly waiting for the next update.
