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.

Anderson is the only fast bowler to take 700 wickets in Test cricket James Anderson. (Image Source: Getty Images) England cricket team’s fast bowler James Anderson has been one of the best fast bowlers in world cricket. However, Anderson is now going to end his long cricket career of about 21 years. It is worth noting that recently he has announced that the Test match against West Indies on July 10 at Lord’s is going to be the last match of his cricket career. However, even after announcing his retirement, Anderson is still more eager to play cricket. Let us tell you that Anderson’s name is taken with respect in Test cricket. Anderson made his debut for England in 2003 at the age of just 20, and he is the only fast bowler to take 700 wickets in Test cricket. However, even at the age of 41, Anderson’s skills in red ball cricket are amazing. In the last phase of his career, he is able to swing the ball both outwards and inwards. And with 9 more wickets, he will become the second highest wicket-taker in Test cricket, surpassing Australian great Shane Warne (708). James Anderson made a big statement Let us tell you that recently while talking on Tailenders podcast, James Anderson said – My mind says that I can play for 10 more years. I know these are not true. But some days when I wake up in the morning, I wish I had not retired. In cricket, players above 40 years of age do not get a chance to retire, I am happy that I have reached here. Anderson further said- I don’t know how much longer I will play cricket, but with age the external pressure on you starts increasing. It has increased a lot in the last 6 years. How long you can play cricket depends only on you. But for me it has been very tiring.
Makhaya Ntini struggled with racism in the South African team for years, son tells sad story
Makhaya Ntini played international cricket for South Africa for about 13 years. Makhaya Ntini and Thando Ntini (Image Credit- Twitter) A big statement by Thando Ntini, son of former South African cricket team fast bowler Makhaya Ntini, has shaken the cricket world. Thando has said that his father was a victim of racism in the South African team for years. It is noteworthy that Makhaya Ntini played cricket for South Africa for about 13 years and he was the first black cricketer of South Africa, who is remembered in the names of some of the best fast bowlers of the Proteas team. However, now a statement given by his son has created a stir. Thando Ntini’s statement created panic in the cricket world Let us tell you that while talking on The Load Shed podcast, Thando Ntini said about Makhaya Ntini – He (Makhaya) was fighting for his life in the team every day. Being the only (black) player on the team, it was quite disheartening to hear this from him. How many times had he been invited to dinner with those gentlemen. So in the year 2020, when Lungi Ngidi had appealed to the cricket world to stand against racism, in an interview given to the South African Broadcasting Cooperation, Makhaya Ntini had said- I was always alone at that time. No one knocked at my door for dinner. Teammates used to make plans in front of me, but did not include me in it. No one would come to sit with me in the breakfast room. We used to wear the same uniform and sing the same national anthem, but I had to overcome that period. I used to give my kit bag to the bus driver and then run towards the ground. I had to do the same while coming back also.

IND vs ENG: “Anderson’s economy rate tells you how good he is as a bowler”- Sanjay Manjrekar
India and England There was an exciting start for both the teams in the second match of the five-match Test series between India and India. After losing the first Test, Team India wanted to perform better in the Visakhapatnam Test and the team has done that so far. Team India’s batsmen scored a total of 396 runs in the first innings. Meanwhile, as soon as the first day of the Test match ended, many people came forward to appreciate the performance of veteran fast bowler James Anderson. The 41-year-old player performed brilliantly on the first day of the second Test and gave runs at an economy of 1.76. His performance also impressed former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar. Sanjay Manjrekar praised James Anderson fiercely Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Sanjay Manjrekar said, “He is a reminder of the legacy of great fast bowlers we have had over the years. He is at the end of his career, yet, on a pitch where there was nothing for him, he kept the Indian batsmen trapped outside the off stump. Ultimately one batsman (Gill) was caught out by the wicketkeeper. It is a big thing for this to happen on Indian pitches. The former cricketer further said, “He showed his class and his economy rate tells you how accurate he is as a bowler. And I like the way England use it. We feel he is not bowling enough these days but he is not playing that much.” Apart from this, Manjrekar also said that whenever Anderson comes on the field, it always reminds him of Anderson’s old times when the bowler was at his peak. They said that, “Every time you see Anderson bowling, it reminds you of his old days when he was at his peak in Test cricket.”
