India's predicted XI for World Cup on the basis of ODI performances in Australia

Number 5 & 6: Dinesh Karthik and Kedar Jadhav

Jadhav has already won many matches for India during his short ODI career so far

Number 4 and 5 are very critical positions in a one day side, these positions demand players who can hit the ball from the word go, also, players who bat at these positions should have the ability to take their team over the finishing line. India has two such players in Dinesh Karthik and Kedar Jadhav.

Dinesh Karthik is having a very good run at the moment in the Indian ODI team

During the Australian series, both these players gave a good account of their big hitting and finishing prowess. Dinesh Karthik was instrumental in India winning the second ODI whereas Jadhav provided the much needed late flourish during the third ODI. These two players seem to be the best bet for the number 5 and number 6 slots.
