4 Indian pacers who should be picked for the 2019 World Cup 

England v India - 3rd Vitality International T20

#2 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

South Africa v India - T20 International
Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvnshwar Kumar is the backbone of the Indian pace bowling line-up and has been the leading pace bowler for a few years now. Kumar made his international ODI debut in 2012 against Pakistan.

He was inconsistent in the initial stages of his career, but has achieved consistency now. He has taken 90 wickets for India in 86 ODI matches. The 28 years right-arm bowler is known for his ability to swing the ball both ways. In fact, his inswingers are more effective than outswingers. Furthermore, he is has added late swing to his repertoire which can trouble any quality batsman. Kumar is also a handy lower order batsman who can add some useful runs on the board.

The World Cup is in England next year and the English condition is ideal for swing bowlers. So, Bhuvneshwar will need to play a significant role for the Indian outfit.
