4 Takeaways for India from their big series wins in Australia and New Zealand

3. Hardik Pandya and Kedar Jadhav sealing the all-rounder slots

Both Kedar Jadhav and Hardik Pandya have time and again proven their skills at the international level, impressing with their all-round abilities.

Kedar Jadhav has developed into an indispensable player for the team

Jadhav has proved his worth with both the bat and ball ever since his entry into the side. He has played some crucial innings in the lower order, helping the side cross the line in tense situations more often than not.

Jadhav is a street smart cricketer which is evident from the way he bowls - with an unusually low release, making life difficult for the batsmen. Of late, he has taken the role of a finisher with the bat, with numerous match-winning knocks in the closing stages.

Hardik Pandya proved his worth in the final 2 ODIs against New Zealand

Pandya on the other hand has experienced a torrid time at a personal level, first with injury and later an unexpected controversy keeping him off the field.

The Baroda all-rounder returned in India colors after a gap of nearly 5 months when he took the field in the 4th ODI against New Zealand. His comeback has been splendid, with the MI player making a match-winning contribution in the last ODI of the NZ series.
