#3 Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya was expected to play a key role for India in this series. He has been groomed as a Test all-rounder to provide balance to the team especially in overseas conditions. However, Pandya wasn't able to create much impact with the ball or bat.
Except for a match-winning bowling spell in the first innings of the third Test, Pandya failed to make any meaningful contributions to the team. Leaving aside his five wickets in the third Test, he took only five wickets in six innings.
Pandya's batting wasn't impressive either as he made just one fifty plus score in 8 innings. A better performance from Pandya could have changed the result of the series.
