India's World Cup squad too dependent on bits and pieces players

By Saurabh Sharma April 16, 2019 • 15:08 PM View: 6721

New Delhi, April 16 (CRICKETNMORE): Announcing the much-awaited 15-member India squad for the upcoming World Cup slated to be held in England and Wales, chief selector M.S.K. Prasad stated that the side was a "balanced one" and has all the bases covered.

But is it so? Does picking a little-here, little-there all-rounder as the No.4 batsman of a World Cup team and calling him a "three dimensional" player solve the purpose of what will be the most vital position in the batting line-up? For those unaware, last time India won the World Cup in 2011, Virat Kohli was India's No.4.
