10 players India have tried at No. 4 since World Cup 2015

#5 Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya is as destructive with the bat as it can get

Innings: 5, Runs: 150, Average: 30.00

Emerging to be one of the best all-rounders in the world at the moment, Hardik Pandya is as destructive with the bat as it can get.

Often coming in to bat at No. 7, he is used to power-hitting and clearing the boundaries at will. However, there has been a drastic change in the way he plays and has shown his maturity many times to occupy the crease when it's required.

The No.4 demands such qualities and that's exactly why he was chosen to take that spot for quite a while, majorly as an experiment.

However, the five innings he played could not produce anywhere close to the results that the management was aiming at.

He was able to average only 30 at the end of five innings. He, however, continues his murderous form down the order in the ongoing England tour, with both bat and ball in T20s.

Pandya is in destructive form at the moment and one must not be surprised if he is asked to deliver the goods at No. 4 by his superiors.

After all, he has so far managed to have decent outings in England, last year in Champions Trophy and in the ongoing series too.
