Hardik Pandya: Hardik Pandya is the star all-rounder of Team India. He has won matches for India many times with his all-round performance. India does not have any other talented player like him. In recent times, BCCI has tried to find a replacement for Hardik among many players. But no one was seen even close to Pandya. Another example of this was seen recently in Australia. Who is this player, let us tell you

It is known that the Indian team has to tour Australia for the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Before this series, the India A team is playing two matches of unofficial four-day first class cricket against Australia A. During this time, Nitish Kumar Reddy, who was seen as a replacement for Hardik Pandya, was given a chance in the Indian team. But his performance was seen to be of very low level.

Let us tell you that two unofficial test matches are being played between India A and Australia in Melbourne. India’s batting faltered in this match. The top order collapsed like a pack of cards. Nitish Kumar Reddy, who came to bat at number six, also flopped. He scored only 16 runs.

 Those who watch and follow Indian cricket will know that if the top order flops, then Hardik Pandya comes down the order and takes the responsibility of scoring runs for the team. But Nitish Kumar was a complete flop in this matter.

Nitish flopped in the first match too

The special thing is that Nitish Kumar Reddy flopped not only in this match but also in the first unofficial test against Australia. At that time, 17 runs came from his bat. He also took only one wicket with the ball. Statistics show that Nitish was able to score only 33 runs in three innings on the Australia tour and how much he flopped.

Talking about Hardik Pandya, he has not played Test cricket for a long time, due to which India usually misses a player of Hardik’s style on foreign tours. This is the reason why the team management is trying to find an alternative to him by giving a chance to a player like him, but this search has not been completed.
