1. The bowling line up is against the standard world class norm. Historically, No team has won a World Cup by playing just 2 pace bowler. (Except Sri Lanka in 1996.)

 

2. The spin bowlers don't bowl during death overs. Imagine Bhuvi/Bumrah having an off day or getting injured. 

 

3. Chahal is a okayish fielder with no batting and doesn't even bowl during powerplay and death overs. He is no world class bowler either. So his position can be debatable.

 

4. India has developed a lot as a cricketing nation. You can see now India has two bowlers with one averaging 19( who doesn't bowl during tough period) and other 22 (who bowls during tough time). Fans believe there shouldn't be any place for average bowlers in the team.

 

5. Bhuvi has very poor stats in Odi. But he provides batting depth to the team. Second seamer for the team? Again debatable.

 

These are might be the reasons. It's a forum. People will have opinions just like you. They may want to see the team become like the Invincibles Australians of 2000 and WIs of 1980. This team is not. 
There is always a place for betterment. 
 

     But one has to consider what options one has as replacements .

     You may want Warnie kind of bowler but not Chahal type. But do we have that luxury ?.

       Before saying throw x out , y out , you should be able to point out , this person is the alternative due to so & so pluses. 

      That would mean you need  to have some decent cricketing acumen and knowldge and tracking all other possible candidates in fray and then make the comments with constructive sound cricketing logic. Such a comment is welcome . 

     But you would see majority of posts bar few does not merit serious reading as thre is just nothing in those posts except jibes..

     If one asks who will bowl death overs in place of Bhuvi  if he is to be kicked out , there  is silence. 

     Thats why till such time use what you have till you find  your avatar of Warnies , Muralis, Megraths , Wasims
