CWC 2019: Five Indian players who will be crucial to the team's chances

#3 Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya needs to step up in this World Cup.

Hardik Pandya has the ability to change the game on its head on any given day, but he has not been able to perform consistently for India. Pandya has been given a lot of chances as evident from the fact that he has played close two matches across formats for India in just three years from his debut.

Pandya needs to repay the faith shown by the team management by repeating the performances of the great Yuvraj Singh in 2011, if India has to go all the way in lifting the World cup for the third time.

Hardik is a rare all-rounder that India has been looking for over the years, and it could be a career-changing tournament for him if he is able to make some sort of impact for the team in this World Cup.
