The World Cup 2019 is going to be a really big competition and several eyes will be upon India because they are currently one of the top cricket playing teams in the world. The selectors with intense discussions performance check have finally decided the Indian Team which will go to England to play the World Cup starting May 26. In this article, we will tell you about the selected players and what changes have been made from the last world cup.

MS Dhoni (WK)

Vijay Shankar

Hardik Pandya

Ravindra Jadeja

Kuldeep Yadav

Yuzvendra Chahal

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Mohammad Shami

Jasprit Bumrah

A total of 15 players have been selected. Out of these only 7 players are such who have any experience in the World Cup format and others will be playing it for the first time.

That list comprises Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Mohammad Shami. It is somewhat shocking to see that Ambati Rayudu and R. Ashwin have been kept out of the World Cup team. Ashwin at one point of time was so precious to Indian Cricket team that he was forced to sit out of some IPL games so that he could have good rest for the upcoming series. Now, he is not even going to be a part of the Playing 15.

Opinion

Several top cricketers and opinionists like Gautam Gambhir recommended the names of Vijay Shankar and Dinesh Kartik while commenting on the topic, thus it seems that some great choices have been made. It will be Dinesh Kartik’s first world cup. In 2007 he was a part but didn’t play any match.

The selectors have made it very clear seeing Dhoni’s form that if Dhoni gets injured, then and only then will Kartik be a part of the playing XI. We can also see that there is a lot of Difference between the World Cup 2015 and the World Cup 2019 team. We can just hope that India performs the best they can and repeat what happened in 1983 and 2019 before Dhoni goes into retirement.
