Team India is still looking for a 4th choice fast bowler for its World Cup squad. 

 

With Bhuvi, Bumrah and Shami sealing their spots in the World Cup squad, who should be the 4th fast bowler to complete this puzzle?

Will be Umesh Yadav. Khaleel hasn’t quite grabbed his chance in Aus-NZ and Siraj isn’t a LOI bowler. Umesh is competing with Shardul Thakur, who I think will get tried out in ODIs vs Aus in India.

  • Anyone will do as he is not going to play . The idea is to have cover for injury. But i am pretty sure if that happens , India will go with 2 pacers + HP + 2 spinners rather then an uncertian 4th pacer. Thts is very sure to happen. 

        In fact selectors should gamble here and go for 3 pacers + HP in 15 . 

        Use that vacancy to have one middlle order impact player.

at this point high chances they ll end up going with umesh only. 

A lot wud depend on who is selected in ODi series against Aus. I wud not count out chahar n thakur chances as well , kaul also has a chance in t20s but they all are below avg options

Umesh should be ,he is good bowler but somehow wayward also I will pick Shami above Bhuvi in playing eleven

Bhumrah

Shami

Kuldeep

Chahal

4 wicket taker +

Pandya/ Kedhar as 5th bowler

None...

We'll mostly go with three seamers for the WC.. and play only two in the XI most of the times...  they'll rotate Bhuvi, Shami and keep Bumrah as a certainty.

 

If Shankar makes it to the squad, then Pandya and Shankar are the other two fast/medium pace options we'll take

Ankit Rajpoot could have been the right choice after Khaleel regressed faster than Bullet train.

Regressed or wasn't good enough? We love to hype our bowlers based on domestic or A tours. But internationals are a different beast altogether. Maybe he wasn't ready at all just like Siraj.

Umesh or dare I say Thakur. He seems better than the other crap and can also slog a few 

Yeah. Ideally we don't need a fourth seamer. 

To cover for injuries, I still think Thakur is better than the other crappy ones.
