5 unanswered questions for the No.1 ODI team

What are the expectations from Hardik Pandya, the all-rounder?

Hardik Pandya : The bowler who can bat or the batsman who can bowl?

Labelled as the player who can play the role that Ben Stokes plays for England, Hardik Pandya had shown a lot of promise in the initial days of his career, but he has not shown much consistency in his role.

His batting is becoming more and more a hit-or-miss effort, where he has been throwing his wicket away too easily, going after everything. His bowling is giving decent returns, but the wickets are not coming from exceptional deliveries.

So, can Pandya be the No. 6 batsman in the team who can consistently contribute 30-35 quick runs to the team total, or he has to be treated as the fifth bowler, whose runs are just a bonus?
