#4 Babar Azam

Babar Azam

The 23-year-old is regarded as one of the promising cricketers from the Asian subcontinent. In 46 ODI games, Babar Azam has smashed 8 centuries and 7 half-centuries at an average of 54.8 with a total of 1,973 runs to his name. He remains a vital cog for Pakistan in the World Cup contests.

#5 MS Dhoni (wk)

MS Dhoni

The Indian legend remains one of the greatest captains the cricketing fraternity has ever witnessed. He is the only captain to have won all three ICC limited-overs trophies. A great finisher and an equally competent wicket-keeper, MS Dhoni remains a gem for the Indian cricket.

His knowledge and experience will surely help the Indian team in the World Cup contests.

#6 Shoaib Malik

Shoaib Malik

The veteran of 265 ODI games is an invaluable asset for the Pakistan cricket team. Till date, the 36-year-old has amassed 6,997 runs at an average of 35.16 with 9 centuries and 41 fifties to his name. With the ball, he has picked 143 scalps at an average of 38.44 and remains a terrific all-rounder from the Asian subcontinent.

#7 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

The 28-year-old is not only a fabulous bowler for the Indian team but a handy batsman as well who knows the art of scoring runs when needed. His only fifty in the ODI games came against Sri Lanka when he was batting alongside the batting legend MS Dhoni.

Bhuvaneshwar's swing and variations might surely help him get the better of the opponents in the events of the World Cup.
