3. Mohit Sharma
In a country where the need of fast-bowlers is more than that of education loan, Mohit Sharma would have fitted into the squad perfectly. His good run with the ball in India’s domestic structure recently would have helped Kohli to extract more wickets from his bowling, at any stage of the game.
His experience of playing the 50-over World Cup would have helped him anyway, given the amount of rest Indian pacers require with the long Test series against Australia coming up. Having played alongside him in the past, Virat would have used him in different roles, knowing his strengths and weakness. His selection would have helped anyway the newly appointed captain to explore more bowling options ahead of the Champions Trophy in England, later this year.
