According to reports, Hardik has been advised to stop bowling for the time being after feeling pain in his leg. This means that the all-rounder whose comeback was expected has got another fitness hurdle in his way. Hardik's biggest strength is that he gives balance to the team with the bat as well as the ball. In such a situation, his complete fitness is very important for Team India. Now this may have a direct impact on his possible return in the upcoming T20 series against Afghanistan.

This three-match series is to start from September 13, in which questions have now been raised on Hardik's presence. Hardik last played the T20 World Cup final for India in March 2026, while he has been away from competitive cricket since IPL 2026. This means that the comeback that the fans were waiting for may get another delay. However, BCCI has not yet released detailed official medical information regarding the exact nature of Hardik's injury. Therefore, the final picture of his comeback will be clear only after the fitness assessment. But the concern for Team India is not just about one series.

The repeated questions being raised about Hardik's fitness indicate that the team management will have to manage his workload and fitness very carefully. Now it has to be seen whether Hardik Pandya will be able to return to Team India after getting fit soon or will the fans once again have to wait for him to return to the field? At present, it is certain that the path of Hardik's comeback has once again not been easy and Team India is also waiting for his fitness report.
