The modern-day white-ball specialist, Yuzvendra Chahal, looks certain to be a part of the World Cup squad. The Haryana boy's crafty bowling has made him an essential part of the Indian ODI set-up. Since breaking into international cricket, Chahal hasn't looked back & his numbers speak the same.

In 32 ODIs, the 28-year-old has picked up 54 wickets at an average of under 25 and miser economy of 4.66 runs per over.

#3 Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav, in tandem with his spin-twin Chahal, has transformed India's spin bowling abilities in white-ball cricket, especially overseas. The left-arm chinaman has been problematic for the opposition batsmen, who found difficulties in picking his variations.

The 24-year-old has grabbed 58 wickets in half the number of ODIs at an astonishing average of just 20 and an economy of 4.65 runs per over.

After replacing India's earlier spin duo - Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, the way Kuldeep and Chahal have grabbed the opportunity perhaps make each of them deserve a World Cup spot.
