India vs England 2016/17: 5 Takeaways From ODI Series 1
As per the words of BCCI head Vinod Rai, India will play in the Champions Trophy 2017 in England.

Hardik Pandya celebrates a wicket.

  1. Hardik Pandya emerging as the all rounder:

The maturity displayed by the Baroda all-rounder Hardik Pandya was a pleasing sight for all Indian supporters. Pandya bowled with a lot of heart and brain as he detracted away from bowling loose deliveries. In the first and third ODI, he struck at crucial junctures to peg England back. Considering the seamer friendly conditions in England on offer, Pandya should make it to the side as the third seamer.

His batting though was a complete bonus as he proved his caliber with the willow. The half- century he scored at Kolkata was priceless, so was his calm knock in the first game at Pune. In Pandya, India seem to have got an answer to the woe, which kept them luring for years.
