What's new

Would Babar Azam make it into the Indian cricket team?

I think Babar has made his mark this WC.

Will make the elevens for all the teams easily now.
 
India doesn't have world-class batsmen besides Sharma, Kohli and Dhawan (ODIs only).

Absolutely right! But still some of the others can also make it to Pakistani team definitely (as they have already made it to Indian team!) Only England can avoid all these average batsmen! In fact only Rohit & Kohli can make it to English, even Dhawan may find it difficult to make! Australia may reject Rahul, but they may consider Pant to be their WK/batsman (Many Australians rate him very highly! So they may groom him and include in their team! But they won't make the mistake of asking him to bat at No.4 and play him as specialist batsman! I know Carey is doing well for them at the moment! But Australians are ruthless in constant improvement of their side! Their players didn't have the luxury of remaining in the side even after winning world cups!) Pandya will make most teams as alrounder except England who have better & settled alrounders (But for Australia Pandya is a massive upgrade over Stoinis even in terms of bowling of late & super-super fielder!) Jadeja can also get into many sides (even England maybe! Over Rashid! So that they can lengthen their batting lineup even more and he is 1000 to the power infinity times more the fielder than Rashid! They are so adored to alrounders at the moment!) Sri Lanka may take 10 players from India at the moment (except Anjelo Mathews perhaps!)

Only Indian team management knows how to under-utilize their talent-pool and mess up with selections!
 
When you see even Englishmen on twitter asking for Babar to be picked ahead of Kohli in world cup XI, you know the kid has done well.
 
We have three elite talents/players that would make it to any team in the world. They may not be in the same position or relied as much, but they would make the 15 man squads for sure, and would probably start most of the time.

Those guys are - Babar, Amir and Shaheen. These 3 are world class talents. The T20 World Cup team needs to be built around these players and if we have any brains (which I do not know we do) we get some good support players around these 3. Better fielders. Younger all arounders than Hafeez-Malik. I like Sarfraz, but a younger keeper is needed as well.
 
The lineup will be:-

Rohit
Dhawan
Kohli
Babar
Haris
Pant(wkt)
Pandya
Amir
Shami/Shaheen
Bumrah
Chahal


Asia XI will be such:-

Rohit
Dhawan
Kohli
Babar
Shakib
Rahim/Pant
Pandya
Rashid
Amir
Shami/Shaheen
Bumrah
