However, there is still a question mark on who will be the player who will get the team over the line under pressure situations in the upcoming World Cup in the Caribbean and US.

While there are a few names that pop out immediately, their IPL franchises are playing in the middle order or top order which does not expose them to high intensity music during the final over the innings.

Assuming India would not want to go back to Karthik at this stage of his career The Indian Express looks at the other possible contenders.

Hardik Pandya Mumbai During his first stint with Indians, Hardik Pandya batted in the late-middle order and turned into a brutal player in the final overs. Even for India, he became reliable in the role at the time. His powers as a finisher started to decline steeply after 2020.
