Dayal has lost 7-8 kilos in weight, says Hardik

Dayal even lost seven to eight kgs in weight, said Pandya, adding that there is no surety whether the fast bowler will be able to play further in this season now. "I can’t confirm that (on his chances of playing again this season). He fell ill and lost 7-8 kilos after that match. There was a spread of viral infection during that period and also due to the pressure he had faced, his condition is presently not good enough to take the field. Someone’s loss is someone’s gain at the end of the day. It is going to take a long time before we see him on the field," Pandya told broadcasters.
