HARDIK PANDYA

RHB, RMF

A flamboyant figure with flashy all-round abilities to match, Pandya is his nation’s great hope for an impact player with both bat and ball. For an Indian, that naturally invites comparisons to Kapil Dev, and the 25-year-old has to deal with that unfortunate pressure. His showing in India’s sole Test win in England at Trent Bridge – a five-for in less than six overs, then an unbeaten half-century – hint at his potential.
