3 reasons why Manish Pandey is the ideal finisher for India

Ideal skills for the role of the finisher

Pandey has already shown that he can essay the role of a finisher for India in ODIs

As a finisher, it is always important to understand the situation at hand and not throw away your wicket. There is a need to see the side home to the finish line where it is in the first innings or during a chase.

One look at Pandey's performances in 2018 certainly indicates that he has that quality. In the 9 T20Is innings that he featured in 2018, he scored at an average of 92 and strike rate of 127 and was only dismissed thrice. In the Quadrangular A-team Series, he was never eve dismissed once which clearly indicates that he puts a lot of value on his wicket. Although he is an unorthodox player, he is a good player of spin and he can go for big shots and clear the boundaries at will, which will prove to be crucial in the death overs.
