India vs Australia 2017: India's predicted playing XI for third ODI

Pandya is evolving into the all-rounder India so badly needed

Words of praise are pouring in for Hardik Pandya, who seems to be maturing with each passing game. Possessing the unmatched ability to change gears effortlessly, irrespective of the situation or the opponents, Pandya’s knock in the first game gave India hope that another finisher’s career was finally taking flight. His bowling is an added advantage, also perhaps, the aspect of his game where he has to work on more.

When Bhuvneshwar Kumar returned to the Indian set-up with more pace than swing, people thought that with the addition of speed, the UP pacer had compromised on movement. All that talk went for a toss in the second ODI, when Bhuvi gave a perfect demonstration of new ball bowling, planning well during his impressive spell of 3-9 in six overs. Expect more of the same from him in the next few games.
