#1 Rohit Sharma
While the first two picks were for based on performances, Rohit Sharma makes the list for a completely different reason. The Mumbai Indians captain has been playing without break and is certain to play the entire Indian Premier League.
Now, the only worry is that Rohit might be fatigued by the time World Cup arrives. Playing continuously for the National side is every cricketer's dream, but just like Virat Kohli was given a rest vs New Zealand, Rohit too should have been rested for the ODI series.
If not for the first two ODIs, BCCI should have opted to rest him for the last three, given India's bench strength when it comes to the opening slots.
What do you think of the list? Who else should have not made the squad and why? Sound off in the comments section below!
