1. Rohit 2. KL Rahul 3. Kohli 4. Rahane 5. Dhoni 6. ( V Shankar / Jadav ) 7. Pandya 8. Kuldeep 9. (Shami / Bhuvi ) 10. Chahal 11. Bumrah (Apart from above 13, Extra 2 are backup opener - Dhawan and backup Keeper - D Karthik ) It has 3 openers 2 solid middle order 3 All rounders 2 Wicket Keepers 2 spinners and 3 fast bowlers. Rahane, who is technically strong, will definitely will give stability to Middle order compared to inconsistent Rayudu. Jadeja is not fit for one day format. Still we can not find the replacement of Yuvraj Singh ( V Shankar or Pandya to some extent may fill his place )
After leading the Indian squad for so many years if Kohli still needs Dhoni on Field then he can better step down for others. To reiterate I must say that this guy lacks leadership skills although he is a phenomenal world class player without any iota of doubt.
What has Rayudu done in this series or any of the previous seris to be sure of a place in the World Cup squad. It is not fare to single out other players who have played better than Rayudu.

Kohli is a true champion batsman, but his captaincy skills are very limited. It is better if he opts out of IPL this season and stay fit for world cup instead of captaining RCB and getting tormented again.
across to a Bumrah wide ball and calm scooping backwards over the fine leg fence by Turner was indeed very special !
Hyped up by the Indian media describing him as the worlds best death bowler, Bumrah had begun to go for big runs against Turner and Carey and was under pressure to justify his reputation.
This particular treatment from Turner - as contemptuous as the most contemptuous ever meted out to bowlers in world cricket - knocked the stuffing out of Bumrah !
