This time, India is going to play in the World Cup in Australia with a lot of hope. This World Cup is crucial for India, who were eliminated in the group stage after putting up a miserable performance in the last World Cup. Indian fans expect nothing less from the title. Therefore, it is necessary for the Indian players to perform well.
Now Sunil Gavaskar has come out with his opinion on who should be included in the Indian team. The former Indian player says that once Hardik Pandya is included in the team as the fifth bowler, Dinesh Karthik and Rishabh Pant will play together in the team. India’s first match of the World Cup is against Pakistan in Melbourne.
“Rishabh Pant is unlikely to have a place in the team if he decides to play with six bowlers, making Hardik Pandya the sixth bowler. But if Hardik is selected as the fifth bowler, Rishabh Pant and Karthik will get a chance to play at the sixth position and at the seventh position. It is likely to happen as well. Anyway, let’s wait and see. A left-handed batsman is definitely needed in the middle. But everyone in the top four is in good form. In which position will Rishabh Pant play? Will he get three or four overs?
So if you get three or four overs, who will be Bhedam Karthik or Rishabh? They will consider all these situations and from that they will take a decision.
