5 reasons why Hardik Pandya should bowl more in Test cricket

#4 Reduction in workload of pacers

On numerous occasions, it has been seen that due to lack of back-up pacers, teams go on to lose momentum. The part-timers go for runs, which tends to undo all the good work done by the main fast-bowlers.

The pressure, as a result, is difficult to build with batsmen finding it easy from the end where the part-timers are operating. Also fatigue catches up with the fast-bowlers as they get overloaded with the responsibility of bowling long spells.

If Pandya develops himself into a potent force with the ball in Test cricket, then he can share the work-load of the pace attack and also provide apt support to his fellow pacers. In addition, he can also carry on the momentum created by the main pacers of the team.
