#1 Hardik Pandya

India's long hunt for a quality pace bowling all-rounder seems to be over. Hardik Pandya has shown glimpses of brilliance in his short international career for India. His ability to decimate any bowling attack on his day and pick up important wickets makes him a match winner in limited overs cricket.

However, what works in his favor is his recent form. The Jamaican born cricketer was in scintillating form throughout the IPL and ended the tournament with 510 runs and 11 wickets in 14 matches.
