RAVI SHASTRI BELIEVES GUJARAT TITANS SKIPPER HARDIK PANDYA WILL BE RECALLED TO THE NATIONAL TEAM IF... - DETAILS!

Former India coach Ravi Shastri comments on Hardik Pandya's fitness.

The 4th league match of the IPL series was played yesterday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Gujarat Titans, led by Hardik Pandya, and the Lucknow Super Giants, led by KL Rahul, clashed. Batting first, Lucknow scored 158 for 6 in 20 overs. Batting next, Gujarat won by 161 runs in 19.4 overs.

Former India coach Ravi Shastri has praised Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya for his outstanding performance in the tournament. In it, ‘I think Hardik Pandya is in full physical fitness. He knows very well that the T20 World Cup is coming in the next 4 months. That’s why he has returned to form through strenuous exercise. In bowling he is the equivalent of two players. Ravi Shastri has said, "If only he was ready, it would be good news for the Indian team."

Hardik Pandya, who underwent surgery due to injury, has not bowled for the past few years. And did not exhibit excellent play in batting. So he did not get a proper chance in the Indian team.

In this context, Hardik Pandya, who bowled 4 overs in the ongoing match against Lucknow, gave up 37 runs without taking any wickets. But he has surprised everyone by throwing the ball at a speed of 145 kmph. So many are commenting that he has a chance to feature in the Indian team again.
