Number Seven - Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya has become a mainstay in the Indian cricket team across all the formats now and his performance in the 2018 IPL has only gone on to reassure him of his position in the side. Pandya had his best IPL season, both with the bat and the ball, which saw him score 260 runs and bag 18 wickets in 13 matches.
The all-rounder is a part of both the LOI sides which travel to England for a three-match T20 and a three-match ODI series respectively. If Pandya remains fit and maintains the level of his performances, he'd certainly play an integral role for India at the World Cup and would walk in at seven.
