England vs India 2018: India's probable playing XI for the third ODI against England

#3. Wicket keeper and All-rounder

MS Dhoni and Hardik Pandya

MS Dhoni was criticized heavily for his slow batting at Lords in the 2nd ODI.

Despite a successful cricketing career, MS Dhoni has always been a subject of criticism from cricket pundits and fans, with the most recent example being when Dhoni was criticized for his slow batting approach in the 2nd ODI while chasing a huge target of 323.

Having been held responsible for India's defeat in the 2nd ODI on social media sites, Dhoni would want to shut the mouths of his detractors with a good performance with the bat in the 3rd and the final ODI at Headingley.

Considered to be Indian Cricket Team's answer for a long searching all-rounder, Hardik Pandya has improved leaps and bounds as a batsmen of late, but his bowling remains a huge cause of concern, as Hardik Pandya is far too inconsistent with the ball and always leaks huge amount of runs while bowling and fails to complete his full quota of overs in almost each and every match.

Currently, Hardik Pandya's place in the Indian team is certain due to lack of quality all rounders in the domestic circuit. But, if Hardik Pandya wants to be a successful all-rounder, then he needs to improve his bowling as soon as possible before Indian team starts looking for a new all-round option.
