All-rounders: Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya

At the moment, Jadeja is looking a complete package as an all-rounder, his bowling is effective, he has the ability to hit the cricket ball a long way and he has the ability to change the course of a match with a piece of brilliant fielding. Though Jadeja did not set the world on fire with his performance during the Australian series he gave a good account of his abilities as an all-rounder.

Assuming that Hardik Pandya will eventually come back to the Indian team after serving the ban, he should be an automatic pick for the role of seam bowling all-rounder during the World Cup. Seaming conditions in England call for a medium pace all-rounder in the team and Pandya will fit that bill perfectly. Depending on the pitch, India can pick either Jadeja or Pandya for the role of an all-rounder in the team during the World Cup.
