Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin focused the reality that middle-order player, Hanuma Vihari, has to convert starts into huge scores in order to cement his put within the Indian Test team.
“It’s very important for him to get the big scores. He has to score hundreds to grab the chance. Scoring only 50s and 60s is not really going to help him. He is an outstanding player. But you can play for India for a long time only when you get the big runs consistently,” Azharuddin was quoted as saying to Khaleej Times.
“We definitely want Hardik to bowl since he is an all-rounder” – Mohammad Azharuddin
Azharuddin noted that Hardik Pandya‘s return to fitness spells good times for the Indian team but he was unsure whether the younger Pandya brother could keep it up. If he does, he is a huge asset to the white-ball squad.
“He has the ability, he has done well for the Indian team, but because of the injuries, he was not in the team consistently. He has come back now, he is bowling his four overs. How long he will bowl we really don’t know. But we definitely want him to bowl since he is an all-rounder.”
