Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar believes India should stop searching for a direct replacement for Hardik Pandya, as the all-rounder brings a unique combination of batting and bowling that is difficult to match.
Instead, he advised the team to consider players who can perform different roles while maintaining a strong bowling attack.
Gavaskar shared his views after India's five-match T20I series against the West Indies ended in a 2-2 draw. The final match in Bengaluru was abandoned due to rain.
