I am afraid pandya is not good enough as a batsman

Doesn't have enough stokes

Hardik Sobers disappoints his fans yet again, meanwhile the rest of us don't have much expectations from him.

He became too defensive should have kept scoring.I believe he’s getting a lot of abuse on Instagram, today he uploaded his pic and fans gave him a mouthful

[vvvslaxman]

He was defending every single ball on the frontfoot a flawed approach. At times you have to go back and assess.

Pandya is no Pujara or Dravid.That's what happns when you change your game.One ball is going to get you. Dhawan,Pant,Rahane all played positive.His mindset needs to be changed.18 off 54..pant already ahead of him

Pandya is not a test cricketer. He is better off playing his attacking style and scoring runs before getting out than doing tuk tuk. 

True. His decision making when it comes to defending a ball it is dodgy at the best of times.

But superb bowling by Anderson and broad.. what a discipline!!!!

This is where Indian bowlers lack. Discipline. They do take wickets at times but lose steam very easily. Relentlessly hitting proper line and lengths is unknown to them.

How is Pant's wicket keeping? 

[vvvslaxman]

He just had to survive that over.

[Lala]

I didn't have time to watch the match live, but I was really surprised after watching the scorecard. Great fight back by India.  Kohli is unlucky to miss the century though. 

[RAZPOR]

well 350 might be a realistic target,but that means ashwin and pant need to get a partnership and if one of them gets a good 50+ score we might get close to 370 or so ,thats a very good total.

Cant believe this hack is still being given a slot. Pandya and Ishant are 2 passengers in this team and may cost this match too.

his fans are never disappointed. What about his attitude, that counts for 50 runs and 5 wkts.

Hariom Baba what do you make of this test match do you think we can win this?Loved your comment about Hardik giving ammunition to Gupta and Ankit as well. (Dot)

[Frustrated]

Pandya should be dropped for rest of the series.

 

Let him concentrate on Asia Cup and upcoming LOIs.

[Number]

Thats where 6th batsman could be the difference betweem us folding for 350 or reaching 430.

He might be challenged. It is tough place to keep for anyone not brought up in these conditions for the first time. The way the ball moves and wobbles is a challenge. Unless he is totally hopeless, I think we should be a bit lenient here.

[vvvslaxman]

Ashwin has the right approach always whether he clicks or not. He just looks at the ball plays on the merit. That should be the simple formula for all these all rounders. Half volley thrash, short and wide thrash. On the pads thrash.
