Wicketkeeper and All-rounder: MS Dhoni and Hardik Pandya
MS Dhoni seems to have travelled back in age. For past several years, he has been the crisis-man for the Indian team. And once again he proved to be vital for the Indian team as he played an impactful inning in the second T20I match. Hence, MS Dhoni's place in the playing XI needs no vindication.
Hardik Pandya has grown in stature as a batsman and a bowler. He has worked hard to balance both the sides of the coin. He has thrown in some decent performances in recent past, both with the ball as well as bat. Thus, Pandya is here to stay in the playing XI for the third T20I against England.
