The Indian team will open their campaign in the ICC World Cup against Australia on 8th October. All eyes would be on them as will be favourites to win the tournament. With World Cup set to take place at their home, it’ll be a great opportunity for the Indian team to end their ICC Trophy drought and win the crown of cricket.
There have been a lot of speculations about who will make it into the final 15-member team for India. Skipper Rohit Sharma will be the first member to be there in the squad and will be one of the openers. Shubman Gill has impressed many with his heroics of late and is likely to be the second opener.

Virat Kohli along with vice-captain Hardik Pandya will be the sure shot selection in the team whereas the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul are expected to recover from injuries before the World Cup and will be part of the team. The question remains over the fitness of Rishabh Pant. If fit, he no doubt will be there but if he didn’t make it into the team, Sanju Samson or Ishan Kishan is likely expected to be there.
Ravindra Jadeja no doubt will be there as has been India’s best player of late. Whereas Mohammed Siraj and Mohammad Shami are expected to be the two frontline pacers along with Bumrah. Umran Malik is also expected to make it into the World Cup team. While Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel are expected to be the two more spinners. The team are also likely to include Suryakumar Yadav as he can be an X-factor for them.
