India have always been in search of a genuine fast bowling all-rounder after Kapil Dev. In Hardik Pandya, they have found one. Hardik's ability with the bat is known to everyone but the damage he causes with the ball can prove instrumental to the team. He is an exceptional fielder too. So if he can work on his game in conditions alien to him, he can be a good prospect to be Kohli's deputy in the future.

With age on his side, it will be the right time to groom someone like Pandya under Kohli's captaincy and allow him time to ease into the captaincy role whenever required. Moreover, he plays all 3 formats which is instrumental in getting a vice-captain's role in order to provide stability to the team.
