Ambati Rayudu was missing from the Indian team in the last few years despite an average of 50+ in domestic cricket, but he came back strong in this year's Indian Premier League where he was one of the leading run scorers of the tournament. He continued with his form in the Asia Cup as well as and looked in good touch at number three.

With the arrival of Virat Kohli in the side, the position of number 3 will automatically go to the skipper but Rayadu has the ability of batting at any number, so he can easily solve the team's problem of a solid number four batsman in the World Cup.


#6 Ravindra Jadeja (India)

Star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja made his limited overs comeback to the Indian team after a gap of almost one year and came back strong with a four-fer in the match against Bangladesh.

Besides shining with the ball, Jadeja also batted well down the order in the matches against Afghnistan and Bangladesh with some gritty knocks. He can play a major role in providing a depth to the Indian batting and he looks almost assured of playing the World Cup in the Indian colours.
