This dreaded all -rounder will return to make the Test team better, who did not play red ball cricket for years
Test Team: To strengthen the Test Team, a strong all-rounder is scheduled to return-although he has not played cricket with a red ball for years. His return is being seen as a bold step to add balance and experience to the team.
Given the recent struggles of Team India in the long format, the selectors want to take advantage of their perfect match -winning abilities, even if their absence with the red ball raises questions.
Indian Test team has performed average in recent times
The performance of the Indian Test team has been quite average these days. First lost in the domestic chain against New Zealand and then there was a defeat in the Border-Gowskar Trophy against Australia.
In the current five -match series against England, India lost the first Test match, although after that, created history and registered a stunning win in the second Test match, but then lost the third Test and now he is close to defeat in the fourth Test as well.
The Indian Test team is currently struggling with an all -rounder deficiency, except for Rabindra Jadeja against England, two Washington Sundar and Nitish Reddy’s performance was nothing special. Reddy even got injured and got out of the tournament.
Now to meet this deficiency and strengthen the Test team, an all -rounder who has been away from red ball cricket for years and he is none other than Hardik Pandya.
Hardik Pandya did not play red ball cricket for years
Hardik Pandya played his last Test in September 2018. His Test career ran from July 2017 to September 2018. This includes 11 matches in which he has scored 532 runs at the 31 batting average. He also took 17 wickets in 19 innings. His best bowling performance was 5/28.
However, BCCI and Hardik Pandya himself has not said anything on return to Test cricket. But if Hardik returns to Test cricket, it will strengthen the Indian Test team and the shortage of all -rounder in the team will also be fulfilled.
