The match between India and England on October 29 at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow is eagerly anticipated by cricket fans. However, the cloud of uncertainty hangs over the availability of all-rounder Hardik Pandya. Injuries in cricket can be unpredictable, and it appears Pandya’s ankle injury might take longer to heal than expected.
Hardik Pandya’s agility and prowess both as a bowler and a batsman have been a valuable asset for the Indian cricket team. His absence can significantly impact the team’s balance. The management and fans are keeping their fingers crossed, hoping for his speedy recovery.

Suryakumar Yadav, known for his versatility and adaptability, is the likely candidate to fill Pandya’s shoes if he’s unable to play. Yadav has showcased his skills in various batting positions and could prove to be a reliable option in Pandya’s absence.
Additionally, the pitch conditions at Ekana Stadium will play a pivotal role in determining the playing eleven. With the pitch favoring slow bowlers, the inclusion of experienced off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin could provide an advantage to the Indian team. Ashwin’s experience and ability to exploit spin-friendly conditions make him a valuable asset in the squad.
