5 Team India Cricketers who Must Step Up at T20 World Cup

2. Shikhar Dhawan:

Nothing to prove. Shikhar Dhawan has achieved everything with the Indian team. Irrespective of what he does in the immediate future with the bat, he will go down as one of the best opening left-handed Batsmne India have ever produced. For sure, without a shadow of any doubt, every Indian cricket fan will miss him and his camaraderie with Rohit Sharma at the top.
But for a player as decorated and famed as him, a world up medal is missing from his trophy cabinet, and at a ripe age of 34, the Delhi Capitals Batsman knows this may be his last chance to get his hands on an ICC trophy.

1. Hardik Pandya

Barring a spate of off-field controversies, or some fitness issues, Hardik Pandya will be one of the first names on the team sheet when the selectors pen the squad for the T20 Down Under. He is a top-quality player and for some, the best all-rounder to don the Indian shirt since the legendary Kapil Dev. That’s some comparison.

But Pandya has been out of the game for some time now due to a slew of injuries and will be under no doubt that, for all the talent he possesses, he has to work hard to get to the level he once was prior to the injuries.

A fit Panday can be crucial for Team India down under.
