CWC: An alternate Indian playing XI that could have given other teams a run for their money

#4 Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav has had yet another fruitful IPL season for the Mumbai Indians. Yadav was the backbone of Mumbai's middle order and played according to the situation. Apart from steady performances in the IPL, Yadav has been a consistent performer for Mumbai in first-class cricket too. He seems to have all the shots in his repertoire and the right kind of temperament to play 50 overs cricket. Yadav can be groomed as a long term number 4 for team India.

#5 Rishabh Pant (Wicket-keeper)

Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant's non-selection was one of the biggest talking points post India's World Cup squad selection. Pant has played some sensational knocks in the IPL and domestic cricket and he is tipped to be the next big thing in Indian cricket. The dashing left-hander will want to replicate his IPL success in international cricket. After establishing himself as a Test wicket-keeper, Pant will target the role in ODI and T20 sides. Although, he struggles for consistency is white-ball cricket, there's no doubting the fact that Pant is set to be a future superstar for the country.
