Last week, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that Hardik Pandya underwent surgery in London. He went under the knife last Friday and had travelled to London on October 2 along with team India physiotherapist Yogesh Parmar.
It was during Team India's final Twenty20 International game against South Africa on September 22 in Bengaluru where Pandya had voiced concern about his lower back pain.
"Hardik Pandya complained of lower back pain after India's final Paytm T20I against South Africa in Bengaluru on 22nd September. The BCCI Medical Team consulted a panel of spine specialists in England and they recommended surgery for a long-term solution to this issue," BCCI said in a statement.
