During a crucial IPL 2025 match between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad, Hardik Pandya faced an injury scare when he hobbled in his follow-through and immediately clutched his ankle after bowling just his second ball. The MI physio assessed the situation and Hardik had to receive strapping for his left ankle. Despite the discomfort, he continued his over and made an immediate impact by picking up a vital wicket on the very next ball. Abhishek Sharma, who had been looking solid with 40 off 28 balls, was sent back by a brilliant catch from Raj Bawa off Hardik’s delivery.
Earlier, MI won the toss and chose to bowl against SRH in a crucial encounter at Wankhede Stadium. Hardik provided an update on star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, confirming that he was fit and ready to play. Both teams were aware of the importance of this match in keeping their playoff hopes alive, with MI currently in seventh place and SRH in ninth.
Hardik’s resilience and determination to continue playing despite the injury scare showcased his fighting spirit and commitment to the game. His contribution with the ball proved to be crucial in MI’s quest for victory in the IPL match.
