Pandya

Dhoni

Bhuvi

Kuldeep

If its 16 shami might sneak in due to his world cup experience.

[Nikola]

Chahal, Bhubi & Pandya with that Middle order. Good lucking winning worldcup.

[Lannister]

Sharma

Dhawan

Rahul (Backup)

WK

Kuldeep

Bumrah

-

Kumar

Khaleel

Chahal

All 3 have question marks over their performance.

 

India winning world cup would depend on these 4 spots marked as bold. I cannot believe we are yet to find suitable players for these positions with only 2-3 ODI series left. Add to that, the crook Dhongi taking himself a spot in the squad.

On paper, India looks like a mid tier team and I expect them to perform like a mid tier team.

 

Huff and puff to elimination stage and then get knocked out.

If you don't have Dhoni on your team then you must be on a lala land. This guy will play regardless of how bad he is performing, that's a given!

I would be more interested to see how the team is shaping up after the ODIs in Aus-NZ. 

 

My preferred 11 atm:

 

• Rohit
• Dhawan
• Kohli
• Open Slot -> Shaw / Gill / ....
• Pant
• Krunal
• Hardik
• Kuldeep
• Shami (to pick wkts w/ the new ball)
• Open Slot - > Khaleel / Saini / Rajpoot / Spinner / ....
• Bumrah 

Bench:

• Batsmen + WK -> Karthik / Rahul / .... 
• Khaleel / Saini / Rajpoot / ....
• Spinner -> Chalal / Sunder / Gowtham / ....
• Shaw / Gill

This is the fall back 11 after middle order and dhoni fail.

 

Rohit Sharma,  Shikhar Dhawan, KLR, Virat Kohli,Rayudu, Rishabh Pant (wk), Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah

 

These should play the knockouts hopefully we make it.

More like fantasy team... not happening, maybe next to next wc.

[Sgattick10]

Our fas bowling unit looks bad alongwith middle order.

 

Irrespective of next 15 matches, our wc team will be

 

Virat

Rohit

Dhawan

Rayudu

Jadhav

Dhoni

Pandya

Kuldip

Bhuvi

Chahal

Bumrah

 

 

Jadeja

Pandey

Pant

Umesh

 

[Nonbeliever]

Everything is fitting into place before the world cup.  We have one of the best middle lower order. Just if yuvraj can get his form back before the world cup ..

 

That's what kohli might be thinking, so keep dreaming.

[Global.Baba]

Rohit

Dhawan

Kohli

Rayudu

Jadhav

Pandya

Dhoni

Jadeja

Kuldeep

Bumrah

Bhuvi

 

Pant

Rahul

Khaleel

Chahal

 

Pretty much the WC squad is locked in

 

If there is a 16 it will be a fight between DK/Pandey and Shami depending on what the requirement is.

 

To be really honest the X1 looks alright but the back ups don’t inspire confidence. The moment there is a change we are screwed. 

[Tendulkar1996]

Its going to be -

 

Openers - Rohit,Dhawan,Rahul

Middle order - Kohli,Rayudu(no choice),Kedar

Allrounders - Pandya,Jadeja

Wktkeeper -Dhoni,Pant

Spinner - Chahal,Kuldeep

Pacer- Bhuvi,Bumrah,Shami,Khaleel

 

Ideally i would want to take Iyer and Gill too as backup middle order,but it seems won't happen.
