World Cup 2019: If every team could play a player from other teams, who would it be? 

#1 India - Ross Taylor

India - Ross Taylor

The current number 2 ranked team in the ODIs have won their maiden World Cup title led by Kapil Dev in 1983 and the 2013 Champions Trophy title led by MS Dhoni both in England before bowing down to Pakistan in the final of Champions Trophy 2017. Given their recent exploits on English soil in white-ball cricket, India are certainly one of the favourites to win their third World Cup title.

The current Indian team looks promising with - solid and reliable top order consisting players like Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, and skipper Virat Kohli; fierce pace attack with the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Hardik Pandya, and Khaleel Ahmed, potent spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal. But the only concern that has been haunting the Indian cricket team is the unsettled middle-order. In the form of Ambati Rayudu India seemed to have found their number 4. With Pant still finding his feet in the white-ball cricket, in all likelihood Dhoni will be donning the gloves.

Given his poor run of form, India would love to have a solid middle order batsman who can bat at number 5 or 6. New Zealand's Ross Taylor will be a perfect choice to fill that missing link. Ross has been very consistent for New Zealand in ODIs in the last couple of years. His numbers since 2015 in England read 523 runs in eight innings at a staggering average of 74.71.
