Prodigious batter Shubman Gill is likely to open the innings with Rohit at the top. Former India captain Virat Kohli will be imperative in the team’s batting order at his customary position of No.3.

Shreyas Iyer, who returned back to the Asia Cup after a six-month hiatus, will play in the middle order. KL Rahul, who has been under rehabilitation process from his injury suffered in IPL 2023, was also included in India squad cricket world cup with Ishan Kishan being the other wicketkeeping option. Suryakumar Yadav will be a suitable backup for Shreyas Iyer at No.4.

Hardik Pandya and Shardul Thakur are the two pace bowling all-rounders with the latter can add depth to the lower order in a bid to accelerate. Meanwhile, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin are the two spin-bowling all-rounders in the Indian squad. Both are quality left-arm spinners and can play the finisher’s role at No.7.

Jasprit Bumrah, who returned to the ODI fold during the Asia Cup, will lead the pace attack in the marquee event. The likes of Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Thakur and Pandya will revolve around Bumrah. Pandya might not roll his arms even often with his bowling record in 2023 hasn’t been substantial, though he bowled seldom.

Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav is the lone frontline spinner in the Rohit-led squad. However, Kuldeep will get assistance from Jadeja and Ashwin from the other bowling end in spin bowling department.
