Indian cricket team’s star all-rounder player Hardik Pandya was recently seen practicing with the red ball. After Pandya’s practice video went viral, fans started speculating that Pandya was going to make a comeback in Test cricket.

It is noteworthy that 30-year-old Pandya made his debut against Australia in January 2016, but he has not played red ball cricket for Team India for the last 6 years. He was last seen playing for Team India in the year 2018. Pandya has played a total of 11 Test matches for India so far, in which he has scored 532 runs and taken a total of 17 wickets with the help of 1 wicket.

But now it seems that Pandya can be seen playing for Baroda in the upcoming Ranji season. If he plays domestic cricket, he may return to red ball cricket during India’s tour of Australia. However, former Indian wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik has something else to say on Pandya’s return to Test cricket.

Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement

Let us tell you that on Hardik Pandya’s return to red ball cricket, Dinesh Karthik quoted Cricbuzz as saying – His return will be really very good. Especially the return of someone who has his own skill set. So, good news for bowling and batting in Australia.

But if I’m being honest, I’d be very surprised, because I know her body. Where he is today, it is not so easy for him to play Test cricket. I would be surprised again if he returns.

Also, let us tell you that in the absence of Pandya, India gave a chance to all-rounder Shardul Thakur in the playing eleven. But due to his expensive bowling, he was dropped from the Test team. It will be worth watching that when is Pandya going to make a comeback in red ball cricket?
