by Kapil Khera
All-rounder Vijay Shankar and Dinesh Karthik were included in the World Cup squad.
Tamil Nadu’s Vijay Shankar got a place in Indian squad for World cup 2019 and will supposedly bat at No. 4 in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 to be played in England and Wales from May 30 to July 14.
The openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan, and No. 3 in Virat Kohli, and selectors chose Vijay Shankar, who has not batted at No. 4 at all.
The selectors also picked Dinesh Kartik as for a situation wherein the 37-year-old Mahendra Singh Dhoni could breakdown as the second specialist wicket-keeper with a rider that the team management could consider him as a No. 4 batsman should the situation demand.
The team
Virat Kohli (Capt), Rohit Sharma (vc), Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Vijay Shankar, M.S. Dhoni (wk), Kedar Jadhav, Dinesh Karthik, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohd Shami
