India-Pakistan combined XI

How ‘Valentine' it is when a cricket fan gets to know that India and Pakistan will lock horns with each other in the World Cup a day after Valentine’s day? Despite India having dominated in their previous meetings in the big tournament, Pakistan can be confident of turning the tables this year.India has retained only 4 players from their 2011 WC winning squad while Pakistan, whose bowling line up is said to one of the best in the world, has an in-experienced bowling line up when compared to their past line ups for the World Cup. Nevertheless, a large question mark blooms over India’s bowling line up too.It is evident that the teams’ hopes revolve around a few players and just imagine if these players play for a single team!So here is the combined XI of these subcontinent rivals:

#1 Rohit Sharma

‘Hit man’, as he is popularly called by his fans has now become one of India’s most reliable openers. Featuring in his first World Cup, the fact that ICC has selected him in the Top 10 Debutants for WC 2015 is more than enough to prove his capabilities. The only player with two double centuries in ODIs has been consistent and stable in the top order over the past two years.

His sublime knocks against Australia and Afghanistan in the Australian soil gives us the hint that he is someone to be watched out for.
