A picture of Hardik Pandya bowling with the red ball triggered the speculations over his potential Test comeback.

Hardik Pandya , an all-rounder for Team India, recently sparked a buzz after being spotted training in the nets. The most interesting aspect was Pandya's net bowling with the red ball, which he hadn't done in a long time.

Parthiv Patel has clarified that Hardik Pandya is unlikely to return to Test cricket due to physical limitations. Although Hardik was seen practicing with a red ball, he hasn't played a first-class match since December 2018 and missed this year's Duleep Trophy.

Hardik Pandya, who has 532 runs and 17 wickets to his name in 11 Tests for India, last played a red-ball match in September 2018 against England in Southampton.

A picture of Hardik Pandya bowling with a red ball ignited speculation about his potential Test cricket comeback. The image quickly sparked discussions among fans and analysts, raising questions about whether the all-rounder might be preparing to return to the longer format of the game.

Ace India allrounder Hardik Pandya has become a white-ball specialist over time and hasn't played any red-ball cricket for India over the last six years. His body is presumed to be not suited for the stress that it might undergo for five days of Test cricket.
