Pandey acknowledging the applause after scoring his maiden International Century at Sydney Cricket Ground
This is the most improbable option but the Indian team management might be tempted to slot in a batsman as Kedar Jadhav has been in a great bowling form in recent times. Manish Pandey has been in tremendous form in the recently concluded India A series where he was one of the highest scorers and remained unbeaten in all of the matches.
He deserves to be given a chance in the playing XI but with the likes of Rayudu and Dinesh Karthik already present in the middle order, he has been waiting patiently for his chances so far in this tournament. So if India decides to go in with an extra batsman then Manish Pandey will in most likeliness make it to the playing XI.

About the author
Balakrishna
Balakrishna has been a cricket writer at Sportskeeda for almost seven years. A sport that he has been following and playing since he was eight, Balakrishna enjoys the intensity of the sport, skills and strategies applied to get a result out of nowhere, and the thrill that it gives. He also played as a medium pace bowling all-rounder in four inter-college tournaments, winning twice.
Balakrishna’s all-time favorite cricketers are Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma. He admires Sachin’s stellar performances against legendary bowlers, along with his discipline and humility. Meanwhile, he is a big fan of how Rohit turned around his initial struggles to build a successful career.
He avidly supports Team India and 2016 IPL winners SunRisers Hyderabad. The first World Cup that Balakrishna ever saw was the 2003 World Cup, when Australia comprehensively triumphed over India in the final.
While working, he ensures he only uses reliable sources and provides relevant, ethical, and accurate information. When not working, Balakrishna enjoys playing table tennis and reading non-fiction books.
