But now former Australia batsman Ricky Ponting has talked about giving star all-rounder Hardik Pandya a chance in Team India for the World Test Championship final. He has also given a great reason for this.
Ricky Ponting said something big
Ricky Ponting wrote for ICC Review that he thought how important a player like Hardik Pandya could have been for India in this single Test match. I know he has officially said that playing in a test match is probably going to be a bit hard on his body. But only for one game.
Said this great reason
