Virender Sehwag, who has played in three World Cups, picked his own squad for the event. He believes that this squad has all the bases covered and can be the champions.

“My Team India for the 2019 World Cup. 7 players from the 2015 team, 8 replacements,” Sehwag describes his squad in the tweet. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami are the seven players who were also part of the 2015 World Cup team.

One big omission from Sehwag’s squad is Ambati Rayudu, as the right-hander has been a long rope to nail the number four spot in the Indian batting order. He has also received the backing of captain Virat Kohli and the management for the role.
