The Indian Cricket Team Selected for the World Cup 2019 looks more a Hobnob of the Players more than filling the Gap then to go in for a Purpose. The Chief Selector M.S.K. Prasad who himself is the Cacophony of his own accord could not find a better place to show his Mental Abhorrence while Choosing the Players for the Coveted Cup.
Dinesh Karthik who himself is more puzzled by being Selected than the Selector Himself. Since 2004 he is hovering around in the Indian Cricket like a Cattle but could not find a Place to graze in the Field all of a Sudden find a place in the World Cup, Courtesy the Chief Selector. All these Years he has to fiddle in the Middle like a Jinx that the Indian Cricket is having for the Number 4 Slot.
So is Vijay Shankar, who at best can be fitted into a T-20 Squad but not in the ODI Squad. As he is neither a Bowler nor a Batsman of True Nature, because he cann’t Bowl more than 3-4 Overs nor he can Bat more than 3-4 Overs, but our Chief Selector wants him in the Number 4 Slot in the Batting who at times has to Carry his Innings till the 40TH Over in case of Needed. Has he got the Wherewithal to carry on the same?

The following are some worrying aspects of Indian batting (of course, I'd be delighted to be proved wrong):
--1--Every Indian batsman has been a flop on the recent tour of England by India.
--2--When chasing a total, Indian batsmen always let the asking rate to climb up, beyond where it starts at. They don't realize the importance of keeping up with the asking rate RIGHT THROUGH the innings.
--3--When batting first, India always waste the first PowerPlay overs, by scoring at an RPO of 5 or less. Nowadays, the NORM is 8 or more.
--4--Vijay Shankar has never experienced English conditions. That is surely going to affect his performance as a batsman as well as as a bowler.
--5--All the star batsmen of the world have now studied Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal inside out. India should probably have picked an additional spinner who can bring in the "novelty factor"
--6--Most teams have more than one explosive batsman -- someone like Gayle, Andre Russel, Pollard, Buttler, Chris Lynn, Glenn Maxwell, who can score sixes and fours from the very first ball faced. In the Indian team, except Hardik Pandya, no one has shown that mettle of late. Some, like DK, have shown that mettle on some rare occasions, but no one has shown that mettle consistently except Hardik. Kedar Jadhav comes close though. All the other Indian batsmen seem to suffer from "Stroke Paralysis" -- the inability to score boundaries when they're badly needed.
How come on Earth......can you pick this guy dinesh karthick....last series in England ...he played the first 3 tests.....he was clueless ... (apart from that moment in Nidahas Trophy )....what has he done to Indian cricket (he debuted before Dhoni by the way ).......he will lose this world cup for India....(i will be the happiest to be proven wrong )

I think selector did the right thing pant hasn't proved anything. Karthik has finished odi recently as a finisher. We should not get carried away becasub he ca hit few sixes. By the way it is yet to be seen if he get a chance in playing 11.

I very much like Kartik as a person may be much more than Pant. Despite his talents, it was difficult for Karthik to get enough chances in international level due to the dominance of Dhoni. I feel sorry for him, but also happy that he is getting enough consideration in IPL as a senior player and he got the previlage to lead KKR. So he do not have to repend for having chosen cricketing career.....thank to the hefty payemnt offered to him in IPL. Now regarding Pant, if luck also favours, then he could have been the Star of this World Cup provided he was given an opportunity. He is an outstanding batsman, much better than Karthik for sure. It is a big mistake that he is not considered for World Cup. Had he played for any other Country, he should have been in the team.

Point taken pant may be a better batsmen ....but has he really got the temperament for a proper oneday player questionable, with his failure in given chance in odi.
Karthik is not at all a very bad player but band is extra talented batsman and also is a good keeper he is such a talented player like can give mental mental boost to the team maths is like friend Sachin kohili Dhoni Dravid anyway it was a very bad mistake done by selectors
