Hardik Pandya scored 93 in the first test match at Cape Town

Hardik Pandya could not prove his credentials as a potential all-rounder for team India. In the first innings of the 1st test at Cape Town, Pandya made a quick fire 93 and helped India achieve a respectable total. After that, he could not make contributions in the next 10 innings scoring 83 runs.

He played in all 13 matches of the tour. Hardik Pandya did not bowl many overs in the test series due to top quality bowlers including Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammad Shami, Jasprit Bumrah in the bowling line up.

In the ODI format too, he did not bowl 10 overs every time. He needs to improve his bowling and batting if he wants to become a genuine all-rounder in the upcoming overseas tours to England and Australia.
