Gautam Gambhir was an opener but for the sake of the team balance, he played at No. 3. The left-hander played a pivotal contribution in the World Cup winning campaign. He was the top-scorer for India in the final of the 2011 World Cup.

Mohinder Amarnath was one of the stars of the 1983 World Cup winning campaign. The all-rounder stepped up in big games which made him very important. He was awarded the Man of the Match award in both semi-final and final of the World Cup.

MS Dhoni is one of the greatest wicket-keeper batsmen in the history of the game. The right-handed batsman's ability to play well under pressure makes him an automatic pick in the team. The former Indian captain was the star of the 2011 World Cup final as he played a brilliant innings under pressure to win the tournament for his team.
