Top 3 all-rounders who should be on the 2019 World Cup Team

England v India: Specsavers 5th Test - Day Five

After a phenomenal run in the Asia Cup, the Indian squad is now battling against West Indies in a two-Test match series. With the World Cup around, wherein the Indian team will lock horns with some of the best teams around the world, there has been a lot of confusion in choosing the right squad. Amongst these, there is a lot of disproportion in the team in terms of all-rounders.

The grandest stage in the cricket world is well known in providing a full-on entertainment and world-class sports, where every cricketer is entitled to give his best shot and put in all his efforts into the game

Here are some of the high-class deserved Cricketers who should be included in the Indian squad of the 2019 ICC World Cup.

#3 Ravichandran Ashwin

Australia v India - 4th Test: Day 4
Indian all-rounder Cricketer who is predominantly known for his carrom bowling

Soon after the replacement of Harbhajan Singh with Ashwin, India witnessed a lot of success. His top-notch performance grasped everyone's attention day-by-day. Having been a consistent all-rounder in tests, Ashwin is now ranked at No.5 in the ICC rankings of the test all-rounders.

But it has been high time since Ashwin played a consistent game as his paltry performance weakened the bowling attacks. This made the team seek new talents who could fill up the gap that had occurred in the team. Kuldeep Yadav and Chahal were brought in to fill up the gap, who in spite of lacking experience did really well with the ball.

Ashwin, however, rediscovering his form hit back with an excellent bowling figure against England, which in fact had ripped the English batting lineup.

#2 Hardik Pandya

England v India: Specsavers 3rd Test - Day Two
India's upcoming all-rounder who can be the best ever all-rounder

Starting off from the IPL, Baroda's beast showcased his stupendous game as an all-rounder, grasping the attention of the Indian audience. His blazing performance under the guidance of MI forced the Indian selectors to recruit him into the squad.

The strenuous struggling period he has had as a successful all-rounder is motivating a lot of the upcoming players. Averaging at 29.13 in batting, and holding an astonishing economy rate of 5.56, Pandya has still been a consistent player.

His jaw-dropping performance against Pakistan in the ICC Champions trophy 2017, where the Indian top-order had fallen down astonished many for his capability in handling the game in crucial situations.

The aggressive batting, which is a prime weapon in short-format games has made Hardik Pandya the favorite of many.

#1 Ravindra Jadeja

England v India: Specsavers 5th Test - Day Three
The first Indian left-arm spinner to pick 150 ODI wickets

The most versatile player, who can open with his bat at any place and excel, is Ravindra Jadeja. His recent knock of four-for-seventy-nine and a fabulous eighty-six manifested to the world his classic cricketing ability and justified his incorporation to the team.

With his devastating batting and bowling, he has managed to stand tall as one of the top all-rounders in the world. Rating at 383, Jadeja is now ranked at the No.2 place in ICC Test rankings.

Due to the evolvement of Kuldeep and Chahal, who took away the selectors' attention, Jadeja failed to show his abilities, also due to lack of opportunities.

Jadeja, however, rediscovered his form in the recently concluded test series against England by a four-wicket haul.

The main reason behind the 2015 World Cup defeat was due to lack of experience in the team, so if these players are given another chance there might be a drastic improvement in the Indian overseas performance.
