Former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa has urged all-rounder Hardik Pandya to consider a return to Test cricket, suggesting it would be "wonderful" if he could reclaim the No. 7 batting spot. Uthappa believes the BCCI would support Pandya's return if he is fit and willing, noting his past Test performance and potential contribution to winning the World Test Championship. Pandya last played Tests in 2018 due to injury, with other players like Nitish Reddy and Shardul Thakur emerging as fast-bowling all-rounder options.
