India vs Sri Lanka 2017: India's probable playing 11 for first ODI

All-rounders

Pandya will look to make an impact with both bat and ball

Hardik Pandya

After being rested for the Test series against Sri Lanka, Hardik Pandya will be eager to put in some good performances before heading for South Africa. The all-rounder has become an integral part of the Indian side since his debut in 2016. While he has contributed with both bat and ball on different occasions, he has failed to do it in the same game on a consistent basis.

In the New Zealand series, he also found it difficult to get going against spin early in his innings and that is something that he will want to correct against Sri Lanka.
