IPL 2019: 4 Indian players who can earn a World Cup spot by performing well in the tournament

#3 Krunal Pandya

Can Pandya's heroics with the bat seal his World Cup spot?

The swashbuckling all-rounder who came into the limelight from his IPL heroics, Krunal Pandya has the game to be one of the most destructive all-rounders in the shorter format of the game. While mainly viewed as an orthodox spinner, he can also turn the game on its head with his extraordinary fielding skills.

The team would want someone to play the role of a finisher when Dhoni might bat up the order in some cases. But Jadeja's form with the bat has lately been a major concern for the team. Hence, the selectors might be looking closely at Pandya's form this IPL, especially with the bat to fill that finisher position the team desperately needs.

With Kedar Jadhav also offering Kohli the necessary part-time option, Pandya would want to impress the selectors with his all-round skills in the IPL to cement his World Cup spot.
