After Hardik Pandya's Return, Which Player Will Be Removed From The Playing Eleven, Name Revealed
The team's combination was definitely disturbed due to the injury of all-rounder Hardik Pandya, but Suryakumar Yadav and Mohammed Shami, who came in his place, worked to manage the team. Hardik Pandya did not play in two matches and is not available for the third match. However, he will be available in the match against South Africa in Kolkata on November 5. In such a situation, who will be out of the playing eleven is a big question, the answer to which has almost been found.
According to the news coming out from the Indian camp, after the return of Hardik Pandya, not Suryakumar Yadav but Shreyas Iyer is going to be dropped. Shreyas Iyer has scored only one half-century in the World Cup so far. Every time they are getting caught in the short ball trap or are getting out by playing wrong shots. He has received an ultimatum from the team management that if he does not score runs against Sri Lanka, he will be out of the team.
A BCCI insider told OneCricket that team coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma were happy with the way Suryakumar Yadav performed against England in difficult conditions in Lucknow. This is why he is likely to get a chance at number 4 for the remaining matches of the tournament. Apart from the half-century innings against Pakistan, Shreyas Iyer has not performed well in the remaining matches.
Talking about Hardik Pandya's injury, he is currently in the National Cricket Academy (NCA) located in Bengaluru. He has started batting practice and will also be seen bowling from Tuesday. Hardik has also sweated in the gym. In such a situation, his eyes will be towards returning to the team soon. Hardik Pandya was injured against Bangladesh on the Pune ground when he injured himself while trying to stop a straight drive.
