I believe team India has selected is a very good squad. The only change should have been pant instead of dk but other than that this is the best possible squad.
As far as the playing 11 is considered i believe this should be the squad for India to maximise its chancesat wc.
1. Shikhar Dhawan- One of the best openers in odi cricket at the moment and proven tournament player.
2. Rohit Sharma - Probably the best odi opener at the monent. Very destructive when set.
3. Virat Kohli(c)- Looking set to be the goat odi batsmen, requires no explanation
4. Kl Rahul - Increddible talent, needs to be persisted with and can definitely win matches with his batting.
5. Ms Dhoni(wk) - Perfect position for him, where he can take a bit of time and hit out at end or anchor innings as per requirement.
6. Vijay Shankar/Kedar Jadhav - Depending upon pitch conditions one of two should play at this position. While Shankar is better hitter, jadhav can stabilize the situatiin and is very handy bowler(better than shankar)
7. Hardik Pandya - All India require is for him to replicate his ipl performances and give those cameos to finish innings with momentum on their side or quick runs in end while chasing to win the game. In bowlibg should be abke to give 7 to 8 decent overs with one odd wicket per match.
8. Bhuvi/Jadeja/Chahal - On seaming wickets, play bhuvi while jadeja on spinning/totally flat tracks. If jadeja totally fails with bat and is not good with biwl should be replaced with chahal.
9. Kuldeep Yadav - Although he is having a terrible ipl, i believe he is going to come back strongly and with only one match against each team, they are going to struggle to pick him. Can be effective with bat as well if ge puts in bit more hard work.
10. Mohammed Shami - Currently in very good form and looking very fit as well. Would be briliiant if he can replicate hia last wc performances.
11. Bumrah - Kohli of Indian bowling. Can perform on any type of wicket and opposition. Needs to have a great wc for us to win the wc.
Dk only comes in if Dhoni is injured.
I feel this squad gives india the perfect balance in both batting and bowling. If they play to their potential this team can sureky win the wc.
Please share your teams and what do you make of this team.
