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

#8 Shreyas Gopal

Shreyas Gopal

Shreyas Gopal was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing IPL 2019 for the Rajasthan Royals. He took 20 matches in 14 wickets for the Royals. The Karnataka spinner bamboozled some of the big names of World cricket with his leg spin exploits. Gopal has shown a big heart and hasn't been intimidated by his opponents. He seemed to have all the attributes of becoming a World class spinner. Gopal had shown fight even with the bat too, chipping in with some useful runs in the lower order.

#9 Deepak Chahar

Deepak Chahar

Deepak Chahar has been MS Dhoni's go-to man with the new ball in the last two seasons. Chahar's ability to swing the new white ball makes him a candidate for a place in the ODI side. Apart from bowling in the powerplays, Chahar bowled some crucial overs for CSK at the death too. Chahar hasn't had the best of starts to his international career last year, but his career is far from over and he definitely has a chance to make a place for himself in the national setup.
