3 Competitive Indian ODI teams that can play international cricket simultaneously 

England v India: Final - ICC Champions Trophy
India has so much cricketing talent that it is difficult to mould one team.

Team 2


Openers

Semi Final 1 - ICC Under 19 World Cup
Pant is destructive at the top

Rishabh Pant (Wicket-keeper)

Rishabh Pant will open the batting. The southpaw has come a long way as an opener since making his U19 debut for India. He is destructive against both spin and pace and can dismantle any bowling attack on his day.

He will also handle the wicket-keeping duties.

Rohit Sharma (Captain)

Rohit Sharma will partner Pant at the top and get the team off to flying starts. He can play every shot in the book and is equally destructive against both spin and pace.

His experience of captaining the Mumbai Indians in the IPL makes him a good choice to lead this team.

Middle-order

England Lions v India A - Tri-Series International
Mayank Agarwal oozes class

Mayank Agarwal

Mayank Agarwal has been in excellent form throughout the domestic season but somehow, he was overlooked for selection in the Indian team. He oozes class and is a great timer of the cricket ball.

He will bat at number three in this lineup.

Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer, the right hander, will bat at number four. He is a stylish and an orthodox batsman who makes batting look easy. He has a calm head on his shoulders and is perfect for the number four position as his game is a blend of attack and defence.

Mandeep Singh

Mandeep Singh is a talented batsman from Punjab who is highly rated by many pundits and coaches. He has struggled to enter the Indian ODI team due to colossal competition for places in the middle order.

He will bat at five in this team.

Manish Pandey

Manish Pandey will occupy the number six spot. He is a free flowing batsman who accelerates the innings perfectly. He has an unusual but mightily effective technique. To add to this, he is an excellent fielder as well.

Krunal Pandya

Krunal pandya will be the all rounder in this team. Like his brother, he is a utility player who can contribute with both bat and ball . He adds a lot of balance to the team's composition.

Bowlers

India v Pakistan - ICC Champions Trophy
Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Leading the bowling attack will be Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The speedster has come off age in the international cricket and is now a complete package with the ball. He is quite handy with the bat as well.

Siddharth Kaul

Siddharth Kaul is an aggressive fast bowler. He will share the new ball with Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Kaul is useful with all his variations at the death and he also picks up wickets upfront.

Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin will add experience to the spin department. Recently, the off-spinner has struggled to enter India's limited overs squad but he still has a lot to offer with all his variations.

Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav will be the wrist-spinner in this team. An outright wicket-taker, Yadav has taken giant strides in international cricket.

He is a dream bowler for every ODI captain.
