Suryakumar aka Sky is in form and has performed for the team in this tournament. This made things easy for the Indian team since Pandya’s absence wasn’t hurting them. However, this will hurt Pandya a lot since a player of his caliber will not be able to continue in a team that will possibly win the tournament at home.

Get well soon, Pandya!
