5 reasons why Hardik Pandya deserves a run in Test cricket

#3 Aggressive batsman down the order

Pandya’s attacking cricket will be perfect for the Indian team

The thinking of the bygone days that Test is only a game of patience where batsmen play for a draw is long gone. The likes of Virender Sehwag showed us the positives of adopting an attacking approach up front which can take the game away from the opposition very fast.

But more precisely, it was Adam Gilchrist who showed the world the value of an attacking batsman lower down the order in Tests. Hardik Pandya will be perfect to play that role for India.

When it comes to batting with the tail and getting some quick runs, Pandya’s attacking cricket will be perfect for the Indian team. He can also gel well with Saha and Ashwin because of their contrasting conservative approaches.
