Five Indian players who should be considered for the ODI series against Sri Lanka

#3 Krunal Pandya

Krunal has shown that he is capable of playing in the big leagues

Hardik Pandya has established himself as one of the most important players in the current ODI team. He brings the much-needed balance to the team as he has started to contribute with both bat and ball.

In the near future, it won't be a surprise if he plays alongside his elder brother Krunal Pandya in Indian colours. Just like Hardik, Krunal is also an all-rounder and is a bit more reliable with both bat and ball than his younger brother.

Playing Krunal will give the Indian side the option of an extra batsman down the order. Krunal has proved his worth in the IPL where he was consistent for Mumbai Indians in the last couple of seasons. Adding to that, he was brilliant in the 2016/17 Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Krunal has shown that he is capable of playing in the big leagues and with his consistency being one of his main strengths, the selectors could try him in the upcoming series.
