'Fired up' Men in Blue have been dealt a massive blow to its ongoing ICC World Cup 2023 campaign during group stage match against Bangladesh on Thursday when star all-rounder Hardik Pandya left the field after twisting his ankle while bowling his first over.

The incident took place during the third delivery of the ninth over when Pandya attempted to stop a straight drive from Bangladesh opener Litton Das with his right foot on his followthrough. However, Pandya twisted his ankle as the ball passed under him, leading the all-rounder to stumble and fall to the ground.
