WTC 2023-25 is going on and looking at the current situation, once again Team India’s reaching the final match seems almost certain.

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.
