India all-rounder Hardik Pandya underwent a "successful" surgery to treat his lower back issue which has ruled him out of cricket for an indefinite period.
Taking to Instagram, Pandya on Saturday (October 5) shared an update about his surgery. He posted a picture with the caption reading: "Surgery done successfully. Extremely grateful to everyone for your wishes. Will be back in no time! Till then miss me."

As soon as he shared this news, cricket fans and followers flooded his post with "get well soon" messages. The ace all-rounder also received wishes of speedy recovery from his teammates and opposition players.
Amid the best wishes, it was India opener KL Rahul’s comment that grabbed everyone’s attention. Rahul, who shares a very healthy camaraderie with Hardik, wrote: “Speedy recovery bro, Hope they fixed your brain too, see you soon.”
Pandya took the comment sportingly as he replied: “haha sure they did help”.
Hardik, 25, first picked up the back injury while playing an Asia Cup game against Pakistan in Dubai last year. He recovered to play in the IPL and the World Cup, before the injury resurfaced after the recently held T20I series against South Africa at home.
The ace all-rounder was not named in the squad for the ongoing three-Test series against the visiting Proteas side.
