India vs West Indies 2018: 5 Players who might be rested for the T20I series against Windies

#3 Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya, India's all-round prospect, has now become a regular affair in the Indian team. Pandya has become an influential member in the Indian middle-order as well as in the bowling department.

Hardik's inclusion in the playing XI provides India with a decent bat-ball balance as he allows the room for an extra batsman or an extra bowler on any given day. Hence, his importance for the Australian tour.

Hardik had to face an unusual injury while bowling in the Asia Cup 2018. Due to the injury, he was forced to miss the rest of the Asia Cup 2018. Eventually, the Indian selectors rested Pandya for the Test as well as the ODI series (first two ODIs) against West Indies.

With a much-important series set to come, the Indian administration might well rest Hardik Pandya for the T20I series against West Indies as well. Moreover, with Pandya still on a recovering curve, the argument of resting Pandya strengthens.
