Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya, the Baroda cricketer, has become India’s premier all-rounder over the last few years. The 25-year-old is India’s fifth bowler and will most likely be used as the third seamer. He is slated to bat at No. 7 but he could well be used as a floater in the batting line-up depending on the match situation. The Baroda all-rounder has the ability to come in and straightaway tonk the bowlers around.
With the ball, he can generate some decent speeds and keep things quiet. In fact, he possesses a bowling strike-rate of 43 in ODI cricket and has also taken 44 wickets. Pandya has made a successful comeback from a back injury and also some off-field issues that involved his comments in the Koffee With Karan show. He looked in good form in New Zealand and will be one of the X-factors in this side.
