New DelhiThe saying that the world salutes the rising sun is most appropriate somewhere and that is the cricket field. Coming to the floor and coming from the floor to the floor is nothing new for any cricketer. This means that Heropanti does not last long on the field. This applies to everyone, be it a new player or a senior player like Hardik Pandya.
Hardik Pandya has been one of those players whose demand is as high as the supply. Hardik does not play Test matches, he is seen occasionally in ODI series and his strike rate in T20 is also falling, don’t even ask about the economy rate. In such a situation, the question arises that after the continuous decline in form, Hardik is Why is there demand?
It is necessary to control Hardik’s heroism
If Hardik considers himself a hero, then the main reason behind it was his monopoly in the all-rounder category. In the last few years, Hardik was the only all-rounder available in the country who could bat along with bowling fast. And whenever the team went to play a series outside Asia, the team management started helping Pandya. But with time the circumstances and performance also changed. Today the team has two pace bowling all-rounders who are constantly challenging Hardik. This is the first time in Hardik’s career that Pandeya’s game is deteriorating due to the pressure of others’ performance. Hardik Pandya is under constant pressure in the ongoing series against South Africa. Pandya’s strike rate in the second T20 and poor bowling in the third are in the news.
Pandya’s option is ready
At present, Hardik is in danger from not one but two all-rounders, one is a part of the Test team in Australia, while on the other hand, Ramandeep Singh made his T20 debut in front of him and impressed everyone in his first match. The most important thing about both the all-rounders is that both are ready to play every format. Both have the range of big shots in batting and the ability to swing with speed in bowling. He also makes a big contribution to the team in fielding. Nitish Reddy made his debut against Bangladesh and impressed everyone with his game, then the doors of the Test team also opened for him. At the same time, the way Ramandeep batted in the first match indicated how prepared he was. Both Ramandeep Singh and Nitish Reddy have reached Team India after performing brilliantly with the bat and ball in domestic cricket, while Hardik is the one who has got the domestic test. Avoiding cricket. It is clear that the selectors now have an option and now they will not allow Pandya to act as per their wish and they will also have less opportunities to pick and choose.
