INDIA's WORLD CUP 2015 SQUAD - PREVIEW



M.S. DHONI (250) (C)(WK)
SURESH RAINA (203)

VIRAT KOHLI (146)

ROHIT SHARMA (126)

RAVINDRA JADEJA (109)

R. ASHWIN (87)
ISHANT SHARMA (75)

SHIKHAR DHAWAN (49)

BHUVNESWAR KUMAR (42)

AJINKYA RAHANE (42)

UMESH YADAV (38)

SHAMI AHMED (36)

AMBATI RAYUDU (24)



STUART BINNY (6)




AXAR PATEL (9)




M.S. Dhoni leading with a comparatively inexperienced Indian side to the world cup with only 4 of its players from the last world cup, the men in blue still looks a formidable side to retain the cup. With the exclusion of senior players like Yuvraj & zaheer the team looks well balanced as of their current performances however the experience of senior players will lack.
First time playing world cup openers Dhawan, Rohit & Rahane will have a trmendous pressure playing in foreign conditions in a world cup but with the batting skills shown by Rahane in the test series against Australia, Rahane looks a clear choice with Rohit to open the innings followed by Kohli at number 3. With a massive experience in the ODI format and being selected as the new test captian Kohli will be full of confidence and will be a X-Factor for India's batting line up along with MSD & Raina.
With 5 fast bowlers and 3 spinners selected including all rounder Stuart Binny & Ravindra Jadeja it will be a tough call for captain MSD to select the combination of the team however playing in Australian condition it will be favourable to play with a fast bowling rounder with three regualar quicks along with Ashwin/Jadeja as Suresh Raina has emerged to be a trust worthy spinner during the time of need. So Team India can take a risk of playing 4 fast bowlers.

With a team of this quality and experience the Indian Cricket Team will be in the run for retaining the cup.
