He further said about the middle order and spinner: “There is no doubt that Virat Kohli will play at number three. Shreyas Iyer will play at number four, KL Rahul at number five and Hardik Pandya at number 6. After this my three spinners will be Ravindra Jadeja, Akshar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav.”
The former Indian opener said: “My World Cup XI will have Jasprit Bumrah, and Shami and Siraj will have one. I will pick two fast bowlers, Siraj and Bumrah. It is important to me that Hardik Pandya bowls because the World Cup is in India and I will have three spinners in the XI.”
