India-Pakistan combined ODI XI featuring the active players

#7 Hardik Pandya

Kung Fu Pandya

Every Indian cricket fan would probably have that innings of Hardik Pandya in the Champions Trophy 2017 final etched in his/her heart. Hardik took the Indian side from a daunting and hopeless position to a counter-offensive and hopeful position, as he started to hit big sixes, often 3 of them in a row, right when the team had lost 6 wickets under 100 runs.

He has the ability to hit the ball very hard, can bowl a few overs of seam in the middle and is a brilliant fielder. The package and the options junior Pandya brings in to a side are invaluable. He might get out early while trying to slog and may also get hit while bowling, but on his day, he will make each of the opposition's bowlers pay.

He has proven himself as a genuine all-rounder by picking crucial wickets in the middle overs in some of the most critical times, such as the India-Pakistan encounter in the Asia Cup 2016, where he picked 3 wickets for just 8 runs in 3.3 overs.

No matter how he performs with the bat and ball, he is certain to give his 100% while fielding, thereby saving important runs and also taking tough catches.

#8 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Mr. Swing of the Indian bowling lineup. One of the most consistent bowlers in India, Bhuvi has created a niche for himself as a seam bowler. He has the genuine ability to swing the ball both ways and trouble the batsmen, and can also bowl excellent yorkers at the death to curb the flow of runs. With his excellent abilities as a bowler and the ability to bat at the tail, Bhuvi is a big asset to India and to any team he represents.
