5 Indian cricketers who can make a comeback for the World Cup

Although India’s final group of players that could be playing in the World Cup next year seems to be getting more and more clear with the each passing series, there are still  few players who could make the cut next year for the mega event.Here are 5 players who could still be in the running to make it to the 15-man squad in Australia and New Zealand:(This list is in no particular order)

#1 Gautam Gambhir

The man, who many feel was a tad unlucky to have not received the Man-of-the-Match award in the finals of T20 and 50-over World Cup in 2007 and 2011 respectively, could be the third specialist opener that the selectors would be looking at in Australia and New Zealand.The 32-year old last represented the country in coloured clothing in the home series vs England in early 2013 and made an unsuccessful comeback to Test cricket in England earlier this year.The KKR captain has an impressive record in the 50-over format, having scored more than 5000 runs in limited overs cricket.

Despite the selectors picking Murali Vijay for the third opener’s position,The Delhi opening batsman could still be on that flight down under due to his experience of playing the short ball well and having performed  the last time he was there in 2008. 

However,a lot will depend on his performances in Deodhar trophy in November and also the Ranji trophy in December.
