Pandya returns to Ranji Trophy after 6 years
Pandya's return to Ranji Trophy
Hardik Pandya is returning to the Ranji Trophy after a six-year absence. The India all-rounder will play for Baroda in the upcoming season, which begins on December 13.
Pandya is a key member of the Indian team and has played a pivotal role in their success in recent years. He was part of the team that won the 2018 Asia Cup and the 2019 Cricket World Cup.
Pandya's absence from Ranji Trophy
Pandya has not played in the Ranji Trophy since the 2016-17 season. He was selected for India's Test team for the tour of England in 2018 and has since been a regular member of the squad.
Pandya's absence from the Ranji Trophy has been a significant loss for Baroda. The team has struggled in recent years and finished bottom of the Elite Group B table in the 2019-20 season.
Pandya's impact on Baroda's chances
Pandya's return is a major boost for Baroda. He is a world-class all-rounder and his presence will strengthen the team in all three departments.
Pandya will be the leader of the Baroda attack and will be expected to take wickets with the new ball and provide control in the middle overs.
He will also be a key batsman for Baroda and will be expected to score runs in the middle order. Pandya is a powerful hitter and can clear the boundary with ease.
Pandya's return to the Ranji Trophy is great news for Indian cricket. It will give him the opportunity to regain his match fitness and form ahead of the upcoming Test series against Australia.
