Predicting India's Playing XI for Sri Lanka ODI and T20I series
Selectors will have a lot of talented players to pick from thanks to IPL.
6. Hardik Pandya
It was a bit of a surprise when Hardik Pandya wasn’t picked for the Test series against England. He has the ability to score runs at a quick pace and also has a fifer in the bowling friendly conditions. He could strike the balance into the team.
Since he was dropped from the Test squad, he would be having a great chance in the limited overs setup. It’s likely that he is picked as the vice-captain of the side. He’s trying his hand in the leadership group as we saw in the 2021 edition of IPL too.
Hardik is a very important part of the side even in the presence of the best of the players. Now that he’s going to be one of the most experienced guys in the team, he should be trying his level best to show his leadership abilities too. It also remains to be seen if he can start bowling short spells and play the role of the sixth bowler if needed.
