TEAM INDIA FOR 2019 WORLDCUP(POSSIBLE 15)

As 2019 cricket world cup is not too far away, so we thought of a selecting a possible 15 member squad of India, that may participate in this mega event.

OPENERS:

The two openers will be Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma, both will be the first choice of the selectors. Dhawan will be key for India on these pitches because he loves the condition where balls travels fast and he loves England too. No need to define Rohit Sharma and on batting pitches we all know how dangerous he can be for opponent bowlers.

KL Rahul should be India’s backup opener in this worldcup, it will be difficult for selectors to give any youngester nod ahead of him. Selectors have also invested a lot on him in last one year so there is high chances that Rahul will travel on the bus of Worldcup19.

Number 3 spot:

I think in whole world  there is not a single person who would be in confusion for this spot. King Kohli will bat at number 3 for India and he is that essential element without whom India can’t lift the world cup trophy.

Middle Order:

Raydu has shown lot of promise during Newzealand series and he has almost grabbed the number 4 spot. MS Dhoni will bat at number 5 for India and according to Kohli it is the best spot where Dhoni can bat. Dhoni will work just like catalyst for India, if he will be in good form then will work as positive catalyst and India chances of winning will increase a lot, if he will be out of form then will work as negative catalyst and India chances of winning will decrease abruptly.

Number 6 spot will be occupied by Kedar Jadhav and he is the one who will provide stability to Indian team. His bowling option will give advantage to India in this world cup and he can do what Yuvraj has done for India in 2011 world cup with ball.

Dinesh Karthik will go as a backup batsman in middle order, his recent form in limited over format is very impressive and don’t get surprised if get selected above Raydu/Jadhav in this worldcup.

ALL-ROUNDERS:

Hardik Pandya will be the fast bowling all rounder for team India, his batting in the slog over as well as his 10 overs will decide the momentum of the game. He can be proved as game changer for team India in this world cup. Ravindra Jadeja will be the second all rounder for Indian team.

Selectors has to decide that will they go with an extra fast bowling all-rounder in form of Vijay Shankar or they will opt for R Pant in this world cup. So any one of Pant or Vijay Shankar will catch the flight of 2019 world cup.

BOWLERS:

I think India has very clear picture in this department, just before this Newzeland tour K Ahmed would have imagined him in the world cup squad but Shami has changed the whole scenario in fast bowling department.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah and Md Shami will be 3 pacer whereas Kuldeep Yadav and Yzvendra Chahal will be spinners for Indian team in this world cup. Both wrist spinner has the ability to win this world cup and they will be X factor for Indian team.

India possible 15 Member Squad: Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma(vc), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli(C), Ambati Raydu, Ms Dhoni(wk), Kedar Jadhav, Dinesh Kartik, H Pandya, R Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Md Shami, J Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal

R Pant/ V Shankar(if BCCI selects 16 member squad).
