Rohit Sharma will captain the side

Wicket-keeper

MS Dhoni

India v Sri Lanka - ICC Champions Trophy

The seasoned campaigner picks himself for the wicket-keeping spot in India's limited-overs sides. Dhoni's stumping of Upul Tharanga in the last ODI was a proof of the fact that he hasn't lost even an iota of sharpness.

All-rounders

Hardik Pandya

ICC World Twenty20 India 2016:  India v Australia

The Mumbai Indians all-rounder is also an automatic choice in the playing XI. Pandya can be sent up the order as well if the need arises and has the ability to finish the innings strongly as well. That he can chip in with a few overs is a bonus, though he does need to work on his bowling.

Washington Sundar

FINAL - ICC Under 19 World Cup

The youngster, who made his ODI debut in the series against Sri Lanka after Kedar Jadhav was forced to withdraw, will most probably make his T20I debut as well. Dependable with the bat and more than a handy off-break bowler, Washington has the talent to go the distance.
