Hardik Pandya's elder brother, Kunal Pandya, has long been demanding to be included in the Indian team. The hard-hitting batsman added to his left arm spin is a sought-after name in the domestic circuit. Pandya has consistently proven himself with both bat and ball.

He was also inducted in the T20I squad on the tour of England as a replacement for an injured Washington Sundar but unfortunately did not get the chance to play. For Mumbai Indians in the IPL, he has made runs in difficult situations and closed out games on his own.

Talking about his domestic ODI matches, Kunal has scored 1232 runs in 42 matches at an average of 35 and is also a handy bowler with 46 wickets to his name. He is a player who can bat anywhere in the middle and can bowl 10 overs in the match. With India in search of a middle order batsman, a good domestic season could put him up in the reckoning.
