Uthappa Urges Hardik Pandya to Reconsider Test Return for WTC Glory

  • Former India cricketer Robin Uthappa advised Hardik Pandya to return to Test cricket to strengthen the team and win the World Test Championship.
  • India's Test team faces pressure after a series defeat to South Africa, with captain Shubman Gill and coach Gautam Gambhir under scrutiny.
  • Uthappa believes Hardik at No. 7 would bolster the team, suggesting he can bowl 12-15 overs per innings given his current fitness.
  • Hardik last played a Test in 2018, focusing on white-ball cricket due to injury concerns and BCCI's workload management.
  • Uthappa highlighted Hardik's desire to complete his 'grand slam' of ICC trophies by adding the WTC title.

Why It Matters: Robin Uthappa advocates for Hardik Pandya's Test return to bolster India's WTC aspirations.
