New Delhi. Hardik Pandya, one of the big all-rounders of Team India, has been away from Test cricket for a long time. He played his last Test in September 2018. That is, about 5 years ago. Team India is currently busy preparing for the final of the World Test Championship. The title match between India and Australia is to be played in England from June 7. Earlier, former South African veteran all-rounder Lance Klusener has made a big gesture about Pandya. He said that Hardik left Test cricket very soon. It is known that Hardik Pandya had said before the WTC final that I have not worked even 10 percent to make a place in the Test team.
Lance Klusener while talking to the media during an event in Kolkata said that Hardik Pandya is a great cricketer. If he stays fit and bowls at more than 135 kmph consistently, he can become the best all-rounder in the world. It is known that Tripura Cricket Association has given Klusener a place in the coaching team. Klusener said that Test cricket has always been testing the players and as a player, it also shows the performance of the players.
Spinner India’s strength
Regarding the final against Australia, Lance Klusener said that spin bowling has always been the strength of the Indian team in Tests. In such a situation, he can enter the final with the same playing-11. That is, it is clear from the statement of the former veteran that Rohit Sharma should give a chance to both R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the team. However, in the final of the first season of the championship in 2021, both the spinners could not leave much impact in England itself.
Talk about 29-year-old Hardik Pandya’s Test career, so far he has played only 11 Tests. During this, he has scored 532 runs at an average of 31. Has scored a century and 4 half-centuries. Apart from this, 17 wickets have also been taken. 5 wickets for 28 runs has been the best performance.
