#7 Hardik Pandya
Considered to be Indian Cricket Team's answer for a long searching all-rounder, Hardik Pandya has had a stop-start career so far. Despite his good efforts with the bat, Pandya's bowling is yet to improve for him to be termed as the complete all-rounder, as he has consistently leaked runs with the ball in almost every game.
In the first T20 game, Pandya did not get a chance to bat, but was expensive with the ball as he conceded 33 runs from his four overs, and would look to improve his bowling in the upcoming matches.
#8 Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Currently, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the only fast bowler who has got a permanent place in the Indian team in all the three formats of the game. The last time when India toured England, Bhuvneshwar Kumar troubled the English with his swing bowling and was India's best bowler by some distance.
Bhuvi, however, had a rare off day with the ball in the first T-20 match, as he was bowled an expensive spell of 4-0-45-0, and would look to improve his poor efforts with the bowl in the second T20 game.
