Hardik Pandya Out of Professional Cricket Until IPL 2027 Due to Injury

Hardik Pandya will miss all white-ball series against Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and New Zealand due to a shin injury. He is expected to return only before IPL 2027 after a year-long recovery. The injury also rules him out of India’s 2026 matches, including the ODI World Cup preparations. Rishabh Pant and Prasidh Krishna are also undergoing recovery and fitness assessments.
