IPL 2018: Report card of India's T20I superstars

Hardik Pandya - 7.5/10

Hardik Pandya could be a crucial factor for India's success in England

Hardik Pandya's case in IPL 2018 consists of two tales. While the all-rounder played a crucial part with the ball, it was his disappointing show with the bat that caught the ire of the critics. With 18 wickets and 260 runs in 13 games, the flamboyant cricketer had a mixed bag of fortunes in the latest season of IPL.

Pandya could prove to be a crucial factor in determining the team's balance in England and the fans would certainly hope the man brings forth his best all-rounding skills.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar - 4/10

Bhuvneshwar had a subdued season for SRH this year

Even though Bhuvneshwar Kumar posed a major threat with the new ball on various instances, the right-arm pacer couldn't quite get the tide turning his way this year. With just 9 wickets in 12 games, Kumar fell short of the expectations and ended the tournament on a disappointing note.

While his tight bowling at the death helped SRH get over the line a few close games, it was his lack of penetration that hurt the team. However, given the seam-friendly conditions in England, Bhuvneshwar Kumar would pose a serious challenge to the English batsmen.
