The only unbeaten team of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024, India, received a massive hit with the news that their star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has failed to recover from his ankle injury and will not be available for the remaining matches of the international tournament.

India and South Africa currently occupy the top two places on the World Cup standings and the winner of Sunday’s match in Kolkata will be in the box seat to finish the group stage of the tournament in first spot.
His place in India’s squad will be taken by Prasidh Krishna, with the inexperienced fast bowler parachuted into the playing group after being approved by the tournament’s Event Technical Committee on Saturday.
Krishna is available for selection for Sunday’s crucial World Cup clash against fellow tournament pacesetter South Africa.
