Desperation at the loss of captaincy..!?
Team India's star all-rounder hardik pandya has been training at red Ball, causing confusion among fans.

This has led to the expectation that hardik pandya will make a comeback to Test cricket. Team India's star player hardik pandya has resumed training. As the t20 series against bangladesh is approaching, he is actively involved in training for it. hardik pandya was expected to be appointed as the captain of the indian team after the t20 world cup series.
But with hardik Pandya's fitness against him, suryakumar yadav took over the captaincy thanks to coach gautam Gambhir's support. Similarly, there were voices that hardik pandya should prove his mettle not only in t20 and ODI cricket but also in Test cricket. Because there is an added advantage when hardik pandya plays in the indian team in the ICC series. Especially if hardik pandya plays in the english grounds, India's playing eleven can be built very well with a spinner. But due to fear of injury, hardik pandya is focusing only on white ball cricket.
