Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, Team India has won the 4 T20 match series on the tour of South Africa. This time Team India won the series by winning 3 matches. In this series, the performance of all-rounder Hardik Pandya was decent. Hardik Pandya is an important all-rounder for Team India but after this series, he may now be seen retiring. But what is the reason behind this… why will he retire now after a great comeback… let us tell you…
Hardik Pandya will announce his retirement!
There are rumours that Hardik Pandya, one of the best all-rounders in the world, may soon announce his retirement from Test cricket. He was hoping that he would be included in Team India for the Border Gavaskar Trophy on the Australia tour but that did not happen.
Recently he was also seen practising with a red ball. Now he can announce his retirement from Test cricket to focus only on T20 and ODI. A big reason behind this is that he has not been participating in domestic cricket tournaments like Ranji Trophy for a long time.
When was the last test played?
In the year 2018, he (Hardik Pandya) played a Test match for India for the last time. After this tour of England, he never returned to the Test team again. Due to the injury, he had decided that now he will play cricket only in the shorter format. After returning from the injury, he has been a part of only the T20 and one-day team. He has played 1 Test for Team India, in which he has scored 532 runs in 18 innings and his average has been 31.29. Along with this, he has also scored 1 century and 4 half-centuries.
There may be a return to Test cricket on the England tour!
However, in the past, Hardik Pandya was seen practicing with a red ball. At that time, speculations were being made that he could be included in India’s Test team for the Australia tour, but nothing like that happened. In the year 2025, the Indian team also has to tour England where fast bowling all-rounders play an important role. So in such a situation, Hardik may return to the Test team on the England tour.
