ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 : Strongest Indian Playing XI

Lower Order/Bowlers

#8 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvaneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been an integral part of India's multinational tournaments in recent times and featured for Men in Blue during the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 and 2017 (both in England). The right arm pacer has picked 109 ODI wickets and his economy rate of lesser than five runs per over means he is not an easy target for the batsmen.

Due to this, he can be a worthy option for the team, and his ability to pick wickets under any circumstances has always been a certain plus for the skipper. He boasts a lot of experience under his belt and is likely to be the major pace weapon for the team during CWC 2019.

Kuldeep Yadav

In Kuldeep Yadav, India has found a wicket taking machine . The chinaman bowler has already taken 73 wickets in a short span of time and played a crucial role during India's Asia cup triumph to finish the tournament as the leading wicket-taker for Men in Blue with ten wickets at a decent economy rate of 4.08.

The left-arm wrist-spinner, Kuldeep provided a quality spin option to the squad and is known for creating havoc in opponents batters with his variations.
