With the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 around the corner, it is time for skipper Virat Kohli and the selectors to put their thinking caps on and pick the best 15 to represent the side during the marq﷽uee event in England and Wales.
In the meantime, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has picked his Indian squad for the upcoming World Cup starting May 30 and he feꦑels it is the fast bowling attacꦰk that will be a deciding factor for the Men in Blue at the mega 50-overs tournament.
The southpaw had most of the names on the expected lines. With the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni in the team, Ganguly omitted both Dinesh Karthik and Rishabh Pant🍃 from his predicted list.
In the bowling unit, Ganguly picked seam bowler Umesh Yadav ahead of left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadej🎃a, who replaced injured Hardik Pandya in the ODI series between India and Australia.
The team also features batting all-rounder Vijay Shankar, who made his ODI debut against Australia in Melbourne this year and KL Rahul, who joined the national team for limited overs series against Australia, following the lift of suspension which was imposed in💜 the wake of his comments at a celebrity chat show, ‘Koffee with Karan’.
