Top 5 fast bowling all-rounders in world cricket right now

#2. Hardik Pandya

CRICKET-ENG-IND-T20

Hardik is the rare kind of player that India always wanted to have in their team. 'I want to the Kallis of India' he had said in an interview back in 2016, and he certainly seems to be on the right path to getting there.

Pandya has always been a person who has believed in his abilities. His hitting prowess is always pleasing to the eyes, and he can bat at No. 4 and even No. 7 with the tail if the team needs him to do so. He is a rare commodity who can play all three formats effectively.

In last match of the recently concluded T20I series against England, Pandya conceded 22 runs in his first over. But he showed great composure when he was brought back by Kohli to bowl his remaining three overs. He adapted to the nature of the pitch very well and bowled on good lengths - neither too full nor too short. He also varied his pace very well. He ended up making a superb comeback and went on to claim figures of 4-0-38-4 in the match.
