5 areas where India can improve before they tour outside the subcontinent

#4 Grooming an all rounder like Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya is in line to make his test debut

India have lacked a genuine fast bowling all rounder since ages now. Hardik Pandya gives them a chance to experiment with their playing eleven which in turn will give the side a bit more balance.

Virat Kohli recently said that Pandya has a chance of playing in the first test which proves that the management is looking at this option seriously.

Kohli said, "We got a guy like Hardik Pandya, who has a knack of picking wickets. He has a great chance of playing as well. That gives us the balance. The extra batsman gives us more solidarity."

Pandya has been in good touch recently and had a decent previous overseas tour. Before India march on to South Africa in November, this looks as the best possible time for an all rounder like Pandya to make his test debut which might prove to be a shrewd decision in the coming years.
