Hardik Pandya is set to be back on track through a specially designed fitness training programme at BCCI's Center of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru. Hardik's recovery session has begun after a minor jolt, for which he missed the entire series against England during the United Kingdom tour.
Since the conclusion of the Indian Premier League 2026 (IPL 2026), he is yet to feature in a competitive game across formats. A source close to Hardik's development revealed that as of now, the pace-bowling all-rounder has been putting all of his efforts into the recovery phase, keeping his focus on the upcoming ODI World Cup, which will be held in 2027.
As of now, in the upcoming year, in the lead-up to the world event, Hardik's main focus will be on the 50-overs format over the T20 Internationals.
A BCCI source informed RevSportz that because of Hardik Pandya's history of injury, the recovery session is being executed with proper planning and extra caution. As he remains arguably the most dependable seam bowling all-rounder in Indian cricket, the board values him highly.
A BCCI source reveals plans for Hardik Pandya
To protect him from any further injury ahead of the 50-overs World Cup, Hardik Pandya's workload will be monitored closely.
"The focus is on the 2027 (ODI) World Cup, where it would be imperative to have a fully fit Hardik,” said a source told RevSportz.
“Given his injury record, bilateral white-ball series is not a priority for him at the moment. Also, for the next one year, in the lead-up to the World Cup, he would be used mostly in the 50-over format."
"Hardik’s recovery had a few hiccups, but it’s absolutely fine now. He has been working on a specific programme, and everyone is pretty confident about having him in top shape at the World Cup," the source added further.
This is how Hardik Pandya has been preparing for the2027 World Cup
In a previous report, it was described how Hardik has been doing his training at the Centre of Excellence. To improve workload, Pandya bowls around 12 overs each day, five to six overs in quick sessions according to match stipulations.
For batting, his focus is on improving reflexes as the upcoming ODI World Cup will be in South Africa, where pacers traditionally get extra bounce. To counter extra and surprising bounce, Hardik Pandya chose to bat on a concrete surface with a plastic ball.
The Indian team management is trying to find someone who could replace Hardik, a like for like substituion. The search for the successor of the proven all-rounder is still in process as none of the emerging talents have been able to make a positive impact in recent times.
Shivam Dube has been positioned as the next dependable seam bowling all-rounder for the team. Despite getting rewarded with back-to-back matches in consecutive series, he is yet to prove himself. Nitish Kumar Reddy is a good prospect, but is currently injured. Suryansh Shedge, another young prodigy, also needs to show his skills at the highest standard of the game.
