All-rounders
All-rounders are very important for any team in this format. In this aspect, Virat Kohli and co. are blessed with a good all-rounder, who ticks all the boxes that are needed.
Hardik Pandya is one of the finds of the ODI series against England as he contributed in every possible way. Pandya looked composed whenever he got a chance with the bat and with the ball, he struck whenever the team needed him. If India decides to go with a frontline pacer, which looks unlikely as it will hit the team combination, Pandya might be the one to miss out from the playing XI.
On the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja, who was initially picked in the squad, was rested for the T20Is ahead of the Test series against Australia and Bangladesh. In his absence, Parvez Rasool has been called up to the Indian team and might get a chance as India don’t have a frontline bowler who spins the ball away from the left-hander.
