5 candidates for India's sixth bowler spot at World Cup 2019

#3. Krunal Pandya

Krunal Pandya should be considered for the ODIs

The elder Pandya has been a top performer in limited overs for the past 12 months. He has been brilliant with the bat and also with this left arm bowling, and is one of the most sought-after names in IPL. For India A as well, he has been one of the best performers in 2018.

Krunal made his debut for India in the shortest format against the Windies, and has impressed everyone with his all-around abilities. He is still to make his ODI debut and is in the reckoning for the World Cup.

Krunal has all the skills and abilities required for a good lower order hard-hitting batsman and also fills up the gap for a sixth bowling option in the team. With Kedar Jadhav's injury, Krunal is widely seen as a potential candidate for the ODIs as well.
