“Among other selection issues, the top order will consist of skipper Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, and Suryakumar Yadav. The middle order will feature Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, and Ravindra Jadeja. One or both of Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh will be there, along with either Sanju Samson or KL Rahul,” the report further added.
While Kuldeep Yadav seems to be a guaranteed member of India’s squad for the World Cup, veteran spinner Yuzvendra Chahal may once again miss out despite good showing for Rajasthan Royals.
“Kuldeep Yadav will occupy the specialist spinner’s position, and Axar Patel may edge out Ravi Bishnoi for the other spinner’s position. It is unlikely that Yuzvendra Chahal, the highest wicket-taker in the IPL, will be considered,” it concluded.
