5 reasons why Hardik Pandya should bowl more in Test cricket

#3 He could improve on his pace and complement the swing bowlers

Test cricket demands a tremendous level of temperament and discipline in every facet on part of the cricketers. It not only tests a cricketer’s temperament, but also helps them become more disciplined and matured as a player.

Pandya is predominantly a bowler who likes to hit the back of a length and bowl a tad shorter than his teammates. India has swing bowlers in Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umesh Yadav who believes in getting the ball to swing.

If Pandya works on his pace, then it can complement swing bowling to a large extent. The more Pandya bowls in Test cricket, the faster he will get in terms of pace which will add variety to the pace bowling department and strengthen the attack.
