Hardik could have been the X-factor in the WTC Final: Ponting

TIL Desk Sports/ Former Australian cricket icon Ricky Ponting feels that India should have picked Hardik Pandya in their squad for the World Test Championship 2023 against Australia in London from June 7.

In the latest episode of ICC Review, Ponting stated that Pandya’s all-around capabilities could have helped India in the title decider.

“…I thought about the other day for India in this game is how valuable someone like Hardik Pandya could be in a one-off Test match. I know he is on record saying that the Test match game is probably a little bit hard on his body. But for a one-off game… he’s been bowling every game through this IPL and he’s bowling quick,” Ponting said in the latest episode of ICC Review.
