Hardik Pandya
The hard-hitting all-rounder can change the course of any match

The big-hitting all-rounder had a breakthrough season for the Mumbai Indians in 2015 and was earmarked for success. He continued his big hitting form in the following Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy, and thus was handed the Indian cap for the T20 series against Australia late last year.

A tonker of the cricket ball, Hardik can also bowl decent seam up ball and is a brilliant fielder anywhere in the outfield. He was a member of the Indian team for the World T20 and will always be remembered for his last over against Bangladesh, where he helped India clinch an absolute thriller of a match.

However, after his initial heroics, Pandya could not carry on this form to this year's IPL and faded out of prominence. He is a part of the India A squad and this is an indication that the selectors are aware of his talent and want to give him enough opportunities to prove his mettle.
