Former Australian Captain Ian Chappell claims that Hardik Pandya can prove to be a trump card in the upcoming India-Australia series. An all-rounder like Hardik will not only give strength to the Indian team but will also play the role of the 5th bowler.
Chappell also said that Australia's batting is very strong and it will not be easy to overcome with 4 bowlers. This is where Hardik's usefulness can come in handy for India. In such a situation, only a player like Hardik can beat Australia by playing his natural game and in this important series can make India heavy.
Chappell wrote in his column for a sports website, 'If Hardik Pandya is available then it will help. He will provide additional bowling options to India to create pressure when the main fast bowlers need rest.

He will have a chance to gradually increase his number of overs in the first three Tests before the match in Sydney. In Sydney, he can play the role of the third fast bowler so that the second spinner can be included in the playing XI. Placing Pandya at number seven in the batting order will mean that Rishabh Pant will have to bat at number six along with wicketkeeping.
Chappell also said that the Indian selectors will have a lot of trouble in selecting the spinner for the tour of Australia. He expressed his opinion on the issue and said, 'Indian selectors will have to do a lot of work to select the spinner.
The record of Ravichandran Ashwin is excellent but not in Australia. Ravindra Jadeja is an all-rounder and his bowling improvement has strengthened his claim, while Kuldeep Yadav can prove to be effective on Australian pitches. It will be a difficult decision.

After talking about Hardik Pandya and Indian spin bowlers, Chappell also warned both Indian bowlers and batsmen. Chappell believes that Australia's batting is very strong and the bowlers of Team India will have to work hard to dismiss the entire Australian team. On the other hand, Australia also looks stronger than India in the bowling department. Chappell said, "India's biggest challenge will be to overcome Australia's strong batting."
