5 players who can force their way into India's 2019 World Cup squad

CRICKET-RSA-IND

#3 Krunal Pandya

India has always been on the lookout for all-rounders, a perfect No. 7 who can deliver with both the bat and the ball. Thought that conundrum is sorted with the emergence of Hardik Pandya on the scene, it is his elder brother, Krunal Pandya, who has been vastly impressive with the same role in the IPL and for India A recently.

A perfect all-round performance for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2018 have made the selectors sit up and take notice. He took 12 wickets at a miserly average of 7.07 and also chipped in with 228 runs at a brilliant strike rate of 145.22. With him and his younger brother adding both batting and bowling depth to the side, it is likely that the management might be forced to take some bold decisions about his inclusion. If the most recent performances are taken into account, he can be someone the Indian think tank can ask to board the flight to England in 2019 Cricket World Cup.
