Team India has always needed a fast-bowling all-rounder. It is not that India has not found anyone for this role. India has got players for this role. But their performance is seen in bits and pieces. That is, they show good performance in one thing.
For example, we can name Shardul Thakur or Nitish Kumar Reddy, who did not show an all-round performance in the match. Sometimes they performed well with the ball and sometimes with the bat. But their full performance as an all-rounder was not seen. In such a situation, the team needs a good fast-bowling all-rounder. Hardik Pandya can play this role very well.
Hardik Pandya had a good performance in Test cricket
Hardik Pandya is the best all-rounder of Team India. His excellence can be gauged by looking at his performance in white ball cricket. The best thing is that Hardik is also a great player in Test cricket. He has scored more than 500 runs in 11 matches. He has also taken 17 wickets with the ball. Statistics show that he is excellent. But Hardik has unofficially retired from Test cricket. He last played in this format 6 years ago. The reason for staying away from Test cricket is fitness.
MS Dhoni’s dominance in Tests
Not only Hardik Pandya, but MS Dhoni, one of the greatest captains of Team India in Test cricket, has also performed brilliantly in Test cricket. But he also left this format suddenly. He retired from Test cricket in 2014. He said goodbye to Test at the age of 33.
After his retirement, India was missing a Test wicketkeeper for a long time, to fill this role, Wriddhiman Saha remained in the Indian team for a long time. But his performance was not good. However, now Pant has filled Dhoni’s place in Test cricket. If we look at Dhoni’s performance in Test cricket, he scored a total of 4876 runs in 90 matches at an average strike rate of 38. He scored 6 centuries.
