#2 Attack Hardik Pandya more
That India have been able to win convincingly without the services of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah speaks volumes about the ability and temperament of the side. One major factor for the same has been the contribution from Hardik Pandya.
The all-rounder has been able to chip in with overs time and again which has meant that India have been able to get away with some cheap overs. India had to resort to the bowling of Suresh Raina after Pandya was hit around and therein lies England's chance. If they can be more aggressive against the Baroda all-rounder, Virat Kohli will be forced to look at other options.
