Hardik Pandya Comeback Trail
Pandya, meanwhile, is currently recovering from a quadriceps injury, which ruled him out of the Asia Cup final against Pakistan and the upcoming white-ball series versus Australia.
Despite the setback, the star all-rounder is expected to make a return when India hosts South Africa for an all-format series later this year.
