“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.

Virat Kohli will have to improve this thing before IND vs SA Final! Sunil Gavaskar caught a big mistake
Sunil Gavaskar advised Virat Kohli before the IND vs SA final match that he should play his shots with physical balance. Virat Kohli and Sunil Gavaskar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The T20 World Cup final between India and South Africa will be played on Saturday, June 29 at Kensington Oval in Barbados. All eyes will be on Virat Kohli in this match. Virat Kohli is going through bad form Once the drought of runs starts, one has to wait a long time for the rain of fours and sixes again. India’s star player and former captain Virat Kohli is currently going through such a time. Kohli’s batting magic is not working in this year’s T20 World Cup. If we look at Virat Kohli’s contribution in the T20 World Cup 2024, he has scored only 75 runs for the team in seven matches. Kohli could score only 9 runs in the T20 World Cup semi-final match between India and England. Virat Kohli fans will probably fully agree that throughout his career, Kohli has excelled in high-pressure matches. The India vs England match can be called an exception to some extent. But there is a possibility that Kohli’s bat will fail once again in the final match of the World Cup. Sunil Gavaskar gave important advice to Virat Kohli before IND vs SA Final match Sunil Gavaskar advised Virat Kohli before the IND vs SA final match that he should play his shots with physical balance. The Indian legend feels that Kohli starts losing his balance while hitting hard shots. “This is the final and it will be played on a better batting surface. As I keep saying, Kohli just has to play the shots he plays with body balance. When he tries to hit with force, he loses his body balance and doesn’t get the touch of the ball. When he flicked one for a six against England, that’s all he has to do.” ‘Kohli needs to chill’ – Sunil Gavaskar When Kohli tries to move too much, his head shakes a lot and that is not helping him at all. Kohli needs to calm down a bit and focus on playing a long innings in the final.

Sunil Gavaskar praised Arshdeep Singh Speaking on Star Sports after the match against USA on Wednesday, Sunil Gavaskar said, “Arshdeep pitches the ball at the right length, targets the stumps for right-handers and away from left-handers. He has the ability to bowl the right length for both right-handed and left-handed batsmen. Against the USA, Arshdeep was not focusing on bowling yorkers but on maintaining the length of that ball. His bowling temperament is fantastic.” During this, Gavaskar compared the fast bowler to Jasprit Bumrah. He said that like Bumrah, Arshdeep can also perform lethally in red ball cricket. The former batsman said, “I think he has the same ability as Bumrah, he will perform well in red-ball cricket. If he can swing the white ball effectively, he can be equally effective with the red ball. The selectors should seriously consider him as an option for the Test team.”
