“Trying to convince Hardik Pandya to play Test cricket”- Gavaskar tells India the way to win the WTC trophy
Hardik Pandya has not played any Test match for India since 2018. Ravindra Jadeja and Sunil Gavaskar (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India has played both the finals of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) so far and has been runner-up in both. The WTC started in 2019 and the first title match was played in 2021, where New Zealand defeated India to win the trophy. After this, the final match of the 2021-2023 World Test Championship was played between India and Australia in 2023. There too, India had to be content with being the runner-up. WTC 2023-25 is going on and looking at the current situation, once again Team India’s reaching the final match seems almost certain. Meanwhile, former Team India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has told the way by which Team India can win the Test series in Australia later this year as well as the WTC title next year. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big statement about Hardik Pandya During an interview with Rev Sports, Sunil Gavaskar was asked, ‘The player who taught Indian cricket fans the meaning of Test cricket, do you think Team India will win in Australia and also win the WTC title?’ To this, Gavaskar said, ‘Yes, of course he can do that. I think efforts should be made to persuade Hardik Pandya to play Test cricket for the next two months. If he bowls 10 overs in a day and bats in his style, it will be impossible to defeat the Indian team and in such a situation, Team India can win in Australia and then win the WTC title as well. Hardik Pandya has played a total of 11 Test matches in his career so far and has scored 532 runs in 18 innings, while taking a total of 17 wickets in 19 innings. Hardik Pandya also has a century in his name in Test cricket. Hardik made his Test debut in 2017, but he has not played any Test match since August 2018.
