The Men in Blue have found an extremely potent all-rounder in Hardik Pandya. The Gujarat-born player had 18 scalps to his name in 13 IPL games in 2018.

He had a brilliant strike rate of 14.22 but his economy of 8.92 is a little on the higher side. Besides being effective with the ball, Pandya also made 260 runs cumulatively in the 13 matches. He played a few handy knocks with the bat.

Lately, Pandya and KL Rahul were scrutinized for making sexist remarks on a popular talk show. This had led to a suspension. However, the 25-year-old made a strong comeback in the side and performed well in the ODIs against New Zealand.

The powerful middle-order batsman and right-arm medium-fast bowler will look to make a positive impact in the upcoming edition of the IPL in order to consign the talk show incident to the past.
