India v England, 2nd T20I: India Predicted XI

Hardik Pandya

The all-rounder has been an asset to the limited overs team ever since making his debut. He adds the balance in the team allowing the captain to play an extra batsman or a bowler depending upon the conditions. The only drawback in his approach is his temperament which he needs to work on. After scoring a brilliant half century in the final ODI at the Eden Gardens, he couldn’t take his team beyond the finishing line, playing a reckless shot during a crucial juncture of the game.

He has been inconsistent with the ball in hand but has provided the team with important breakthroughs in crucial junctures of the game which keeps him in good stead.
