While it may not sound foolproof, Hardik Pandya has grown leaps and bounds as a cricketer, more so as a bowler. His impressive bowling during the Indian Premier League 2018 season also saw him don the Purple Cap once as well. He often bowled the tougher overs for Mumbai and came out trumps.

A naturally aggressive player, Pandya has shown that he can take responsibility and strike at key intervals to ensure his side stays on top for Mumbai and Virat Kohli and co. might be well advised to use him in the same manner which will allow the spinners to dominate the proceedings even more.
