Pandya sustained an injury to his ankle while attempting to stop a ball in the October 19 match against Bangladesh in Pune . He did not take further part in the match after it. He also missed the match against New Zealand. India won both the games. Suryakumar Yadav and Mohammed Shami filled up spots to make up for Hardik's all-round talent. Pandya's ability to offer few overs of pace and hard-hitting batting make him an invaluable asset to 'Men in Blue'.

Pandya has taken four wickets in tournament so far and scored an 11* against Australia.
