5 Indian players for whom 2019 World Cup could be the last one

#4 Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik made his debut for India in 2004 and till now has just played only 86 ODIs. One of the main reason has been, India never required a wicketkeeper once MS Dhoni took over as one. Even in the current ODI squad, he is playing as a batsman and not as a wicketkeeper.

He is likely to be a part of the ODI squad for the World Cup but it is still uncertain whether he will get a spot in the playing eleven. He is already over 33, and most likely it will be his last World Cup.

#5 Kedar Jadhav

Kedar Jadhav

Kedar Jadhav, if fully fit, is likely to be a part of the Indian team for the next World Cup in 2019. Indian needs someone who can bat at number 6 and also give some overs with the ball, Jadhav fits that role perfectly.

Many times he has picked crucial wickets for India. He has 22 wickets to his name at an economy of just 4.86. With the bat, he averages more than 42 and has scored 2 centuries and 3 fifties. With a strike rate of almost 108, he is someone who can play the role of the finisher.

Kedar is already close to 34, and it is most likely for him too that it will be his last World Cup.

Other senior players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are currently 30 and 31 years of age, it will interesting to see whether they will be able to continue their form and fitness and be a part of the next World Cup.
