All-rounders: Kedar Jadhav and Hardik Pandya

Kedar Jadhav is back with a bang. After his injury troubles in 2018, which ruled him out of the 2018 IPL and most of the limited-overs game for India, the 33-year-old played a match-winning innings in the series decider against Australia earlier this month and also played a good cameo in the second ODI against New Zealand. He can be more than useful with the ball in the middle overs, which allows the captain to rotate his bowlers easily.
Back in the team after the huge media controversy, Hardik Pandya delivered a solid performance for India in the third ODI at Mount Maunganui. He took a stunning catch to dismiss Kane Williamson at mid-wicket and bowled a solid spell to dismiss Henry Nicholls and Mitchell Santner. The 25-year-old provides a lot more balance to the team and it allows the captain to play his best possible best XI.
