That looks like a very strong and experienced team. I'm not sure about you guys, but I did carefully watch Chris Gayle batting against England recently in ODIs and it seemed like he's literally better than ever these days. Combining the strength of Gayle with Holder, Bravo, Russell, and Braithwaite, it looks like they have a nice chance of actually lifting the trophy!

Here is the WI world cup squad, I think no one shared here-

You cannot be a good player if you do not love the game. This is true of any field. If you love your work and game, you can easily excel in it and achieve high levels. For sure, if you are hard worker, you will be selected in the team and money will automatically comes to you. Hope you got my point.

Not sure if I will go for MS application, I feel it's a burden honestly.

@JSRAW we need just cricket lovers because they can manage better then these professionals and this can bring some more excitement in game professionals need money and lovers need enjoyment.

The combination of both the lovers and professionalism should be the main goal. If a team has players who love the game, who are sincere to their profession and country, its hard to beat such a team.

Thanks bhai appreciate that, lol yeah in fact my majority of the merit came from you. if in the future, you are applying for MS then will vouch for you without any second thought you are glue of our small cricket community with your contribution and everybody can agree on that.

Sorry for your loss in IPL betting, Yes I am aware of that.

IPL or shorter format(20-20) of game analysis demands more time TBH and IPL results are very unpredictable except few games, because game can change with even one ball or over.

Sorry to say but, I am not following Ipl matches much lately due to work so I am not qualified atm and can only provide educated guess just like other users. Having said that will start follow IPL during Last stage.

Yes, I am expecting good competitive world cup in this edition. of course with gambling point of view as well.

Few questions: Have you tried to test your cricketing picks in the IPL?
If yes than is there any percentage you can think of. (Accuracy)

World cup will be an interesting event to gamble LOL and you know (I guess) about my gambling interest in cricket LOL
I lost a lot in IPL DAMN!

That 11-player team you mentioned looks perfectly balanced. This time, India is looking as strong as Australia of the early 2000s.

An interesting analysis on India's squad for the World Cup:

https://www.livemint.com/sports/cricket-news/the-three-questions-facing-india-s-world-cup-squad-1556176209412.html

A very perfect and balanced side you need to be some good post in BCCI because they surely need peoples like you  

Really? are you serious or just kidding? Pakistan has no chance to India. I don't think Pakistan will be able to be in the top 6 even. Their performance are too poor these days.

My bet on this playing XI. chances are we are going to see this squad in starting phase.

1 Sikhar
2. Rohit
3. Virat
4. Shankar
5. Dhoni
6. Kedar
7.Hardik
8.Kuldeep
9.Chahal
10.Shami
11. Bumrah

4 regular bowler ( 2 seamer and 2 spinner) and 1 seamer allrounder (hardik) along with 2 batsmen cum part time bowlers ( Shankar, Kedar) this combination can work for India. Shankar can bowl 3-4 over, Kedar can act as a surprise factor, he can give 10 overs as well on his day. pandaya can bowl 5-6 over easily but would like to see him bowling atleast 8 overs average in world cup.

After that team could change according to pitch and performance.

If Opening pairs fails then KL will join the squad. Indian management can use him at number 3 as well and virat moving at number 4, we have seen this before. this will happen if Shankar fails to perform with the bat ( this looks worst scenario to me)

I am in favour of Kuldeep and chahal duo but if something goes wrong then hammer could drop on Chahal and Jadeja will take his place as a bowling allrounder, he can give 10 over easily and can do okay batting down in the lower order if situation demands.

If by any chance pitch favouring Fast bowler then Bhuvi can join the pace battery, again Chahal out in this scenario too unless kuldeep performing badly. this gives India 4 seamer option with 1 wrist spinner and part timers bowlers like Kedar jadhav and Shankar.

Dinesh kartik is last person to get in the playing XI IMHO. for this to happen KL Rahul and Vijay Shankar need to fail miserably, not a good scenario if you are Indian fan

For future India got good backup.

Prithvi, Shubham gill leading the way and list is very long and good thing is majority of new players are captain materials too. Prithvi, shubham, Shryes, Samson, Pant to name a few. I didn't mentioned fast bowlers and spinners ( India producing good pacer but lacking in producing promising wrist spinner in domestic level, hope for best that it changes in coming years)

Edit : Ishan Kishan added as Pffrt  mentioned about him and sorry if I am forgetting your fav players it may be because list is long list

India is good team I know so many players are new but still there is some space to play well, wickets should be played well it needs practice, I think Pakistan will compete India well, 2019 world cup will go in favor of Pakistan I guess because new players are well trained and well played players..
