'No one knows when Hardik Pandya will be back' - Ajinkya Rahane’s huge statement on star all-rounder before West Indies ODIs

Ajinkya Rahane has expressed uncertainty regarding the recovery timeline of Hardik Pandya, whose extended absence due to a shin injury continues to leave a major vacancy in India's lineup. Speaking ahead of the upcoming one-day series against the West Indies beginning September 27, Rahane highlighted the unique challenge of filling that spot while emphasizing that youngster Nitish Kumar Reddy should focus on establishing his own consistency rather than drawing comparisons to the sidelined all-rounder.

Reddy has been shifted into the white-ball roster following a strong showing in the Afghanistan series, taking over the seam-bowling all-rounder duties for the fixtures led by captain Shubman Gill and vice-captain KL Rahul.
