Hardik Pandya fails fitness tests, Vijay Shankar replaces him in India A squad


Recommended Posts

Hope we find a solid all rounder. SO good that this Pandya should worry about his spot.  At this point we have half cooked all rounders like Shankar, Dubey.   Chahar and Thakur can bat a bit.

really ??? who wants to be misfit all time

Every cricketer understands his value in IPL is up if he is playing for country .

Every players knows that u cant straight away come in cricket n start performing specially someone who bowls fast. To be successful u need rhythm which only comes by playing

 

Sometimes we talk about injury as if a player decides when he wants to get injured and when he wants to get healed

Some cricketers are naturally fit. Kapil Dev bowled so much in 60 odd consecutive tests then missed one test and again 60 odd consecutive tests. Sobers too was fit for most part of his career inspire of taking the all rounders workload. Jadeja dives so much on field yet we never see him get injured. Maxwell too. Some cricketers are very athletic and survive what a lot of cricketers can only dream off.

Agarkar, Ishant rarely get injured.

Pandya is a gifted athlete and hate to see him hurt. He needs to understand the limitations of human body and needs to focus on one speciality.

Didn’t cricketers get more breaks back then? Now, at least for players who participate in all 3 formats- it seems like they are playing all year.

Ishant only plays tests. So he actually gets some recovery time.

INitially he played one dayers too. IPL as well. Besides Hardik has not really played much.

He cannot be in the Test squad. Haven't we already learned by it? He was one of the reasons we lost in SA and Eng. His batting or bowling, taking individually, is not upto the Test standards and most importantly, disrupts the team balance.

He was one of the reasons we won a test in England.

Pandya isn't unfit. He had stress fracture of the back. Bowlers who strive to bowl quick or bowl over 140 or more are highly susceptible to get back fractures. Don't think Kapil Dev bowled 140 plus.

Ishant has huge ankle issues. Has been out so many times due to that. We don't remember that because he only plays tests that too not all tests.

 Pandya's bowling action is a screwed up action. He just collapses at the point of delivery.   Also while batting he arches back too much to get the elevation.  He is likely to pick up more injuries.

Even Bumrah's action is messed up and is likely to get serious back injuries eventually. Already had one last year.

He was also one of the reasons we won Australia Test series. Because we didn't play him in any of the Test matches.

We won because of Pujara’s heroics. Guys who batted at 6 did not do that well relatively

So what his replacement did in Australia?

You know what they did, no need to go down that rabbit hole with the same BS again! Pandya is not good enough as of now to be in tests, whether his fans believe it or not!

Guys who batted at 6 made a consistent 60+ scores considering both innings and more importantly they were Test specialists, leaving out Sharma.

 

Vihari was new to the team, give him time he will be a much better batsman than Pandya.
