Ravichandran Ashwin, who returned to ODI cricket after a long time, surprised everyone with his performance in the three-match ODI series between India and Australia. Absent from this format for 20 months, Ashwin was suddenly given a place in the team before the World Cup. Taking this opportunity with both hands, his selection in the World Cup squad is now hotly debated. If Ashwin is given a chance in the first team for the World Cup, the places of the two players may be in danger. In fact, these two players of the Indian team have not been able to do anything for quite some time. So Ashwin can easily remove any of these two and enter the team.
Indian team’s fast bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur has not been in his best form with both the ball and the bat for quite some time. He took some wickets during the Asia Cup but could not control the economy rate. Shardul was selected to bat but averaged only 21. With Shardul in the team, India gets an option in pace bowling. But Hardik Pandya is bowling well and can be the third pacer. In such a scenario, the team can opt for Ashwin who is a good spin bowling option and can also bat at number 8. Although Shardul has been a member of the party for a long time, it will not be easy for him to retain his position.
Ravindra Jadeja is a big name in the Indian team. But at the moment he is not in his best rhythm. He has not been seen as a match-winner for quite some time. No doubt Ravindra Jadeja is great as a bowler and fielder, but his batting needs improvement. Ravindra Jadeja has the ability to bowl ten overs for the team on any pitch. Apart from that, this player has no answer in fielding. However, he should come down to bat at number 7 and contribute as a batsman. If not, Ravichandran Ashwin will definitely be the best option in his place. And there will be no surprise if Ashwin makes his place in the World Cup team.
