Rohit Sharma (Vice-captain), Sharma has scored 1586 runs with an average of 58.74 since January 2018.
Dhawan was India’s top-scorer during the 2013 Champions
Trophy win in England, With 363 runs. Shikhar Dhawan has scored 1317 with an
average of 43.9 in the same time frame.
The number 4 position always be in debate a lot of people tried for the position but the selection committee picked Ambati Rayadu for number 4 to bat.
National selector Kiran More selected Rishabh Pant over
Dinesh Karthik for the second wicket keeper.
ICC rules require pitches for events like World Cup to be standardised at all venues but Lal said weather will be a factor. “You can’t standardise the conditions. It could be cloudy one day; there could be some dampness so you never know. Length will be very important there since you have to bowl in a certain corridor when that happens,” he said.
Wrist spinners Kuldeep and Chahal are Kohli’s bowling aces
for this World Cup. It remains to be seen if the management backs Ravindra
Jadeja. “Apart from Hardik, Jadeja is the only complete all-rounder in
this squad. We should never leave him out,” said Madan Lal.
