Cricket / Captain KL Rahul will miss his best friend in the ODI series! alone turns the match

The Indian team is currently playing against South Africa in the three-match Test series. After this series, Team India has to play a 3-match ODI series against the African team itself. Let us inform that the captain of the team in this series, KL Rahul has been selected as Rohit Sharma has already been ruled out of this tour due to injury. However, KL Rahul will miss a very special friend of his on the South Africa tour.

Rahul will miss this player

Let us tell you that Hardik Pandya, the deadliest all-rounder of Team India and a special friend of captain KL Rahul, was out of the South Africa series. This player has been in trouble for a long time due to his poor fitness. In the T20 World Cup also, questions were being raised on Hardik's selection. He was given rest in the New Zealand series and now before the South Africa series, this all-rounder himself has said that he wants to stay away from the game for some time. Hardik is considered to be the best friend of the new captain KL Rahul and there has been a lot of discussion about the friendship of these two players off the field as well.

very poor performance

Hardik Pandya has been facing constant criticism for the last few months. Hardik may be going through a lot of difficulties in terms of form, but his presence in the team is considered a great strength. Looking at this big tour, this is very bad news. Hardik Pandya's performance was very poor in the first IPL 2021 and then the T20 World Cup. This player was neither able to bowl nor bat. In such a situation, the team management was being criticized for giving him frequent opportunities. However, now Hardik is going to be out of two consecutive series.

Hardik is in rehab center

Let us tell you that Hardik Pandya is in rehab at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore to return to form. In fact, Hardik was not even able to bowl due to fitness and hence he was getting a place in the team only as a batsman. But this player was also doing bad batting. That's why Hardik himself has now taken a big step and told the BCCI that he needs some time to return to fitness.
