England vs India, Test: 5 Players to Watch out for

# Hardik Pandya

Pandya will have higher responsibilities in the series as he his the only in-form all-rounder in the squad. 2018 has been an excellent year for the Baroda all-rounder. Hardik scored 119 runs against South Africa in their test series and took 3 wickets. In his next test outing, Pandya scored a blistering half-century against Afghanistan.

He was exceptional at England with the bat and ball. The right arm medium pace took 7 wickets in the series and showcased a crucial cameo performance in the 3rd T20I.

In the absence of critical pacers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya will have a more prominent duty in the bowling department. As he is in a superb gig, Pandya's staging will be crucial in the test series.
