5 reasons why Hardik Pandya should bowl more in Test cricket

#2 India can afford to play three spinners

Traditionally, India has been a cricketing nation, which has depended heavily upon its spinners especially in the sub-continent. Spin has arguably been India’s area of strength and the records of spinners like Erapalli Prasanna, Harbhajan Singh and Ravichandran Ashwin proves it.

India mostly prefers playing a couple of spinners and three fast bowlers in Test matches. Pandya’s addition into the Test setup might just work wonders for India.

If Pandya puts together more overs as a fast bowler, then India can play to their strength and get in an extra specialist spinner. While it will be a delight for India, it presents ominous signs for their opponents.
