ICC World Cup 2019: How India could possibly lineup in the tournament opener

#4 Bowlers: Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah

Mohammed Shami is in great form right now

India's spin twins, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav will once again have the huge responsibility of providing breakthroughs in the middle overs for Kohli.

These two have been India's go to bowlers and more often than not, they have been successful in breaking partnerships. Chahal has been in great form in the IPL so far and if there were any doubts on his inclusion in the playing XI, they should be cleared after this.

Kuldeep, on the other hand, hasn't had a great IPL so far but he becomes a totally different bowler for India in ODI cricket. These two are wicket takers in this bowling lineup and their abilities will again be put to test at the grand stage.

In the fast bowling department, Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah are likely to get the nod. Shami has had a brilliant return to white ball cricket and that New Zealand tour has made him an automatic choice for the World Cup.

While Bhuvneshwar Kumar's ability to swing the new ball could come handy in Engaged, expect Shami to play the first match over him.

Bumrah, on the other hand, is the number 1 ranked bowler in ODI cricket at the moment and he is arguably the best death bowler in the world. He is indispensable to this Indian side and he will be looking forward to nailing those yorkers in blue colors.
