Contrary to the claim made in few of the write-ups that Saurav Ganguly has preferred to have Yuvraj Singh included in his proposed Indian cricket squad for the coming world cup, it has now been reported that instead Dada has chosen Stuart Binny over Yuvraj Singh. The opinion of Saurav Ganguly is always treated as authentic and unbiased as Dada is one of the most sought after cricketer of India.
Sourav Ganguly, who had led India to the World Cup final in 2003, after giving a through consideration, has decided to pick 5 fast bowlers in his squad. The former Indian captain feels that an extra pacer would be more helpful for India’s cause on the pitches of Australia and New Zealand as opposed to picking a third spinner in Axar Patel. This appears to be a very valid and justified decision. Already we have seen that our spinners have not been able to spread any magic in Australia. Here comes the list decided by Dada.
- MS Dhoni [c]
- Shikhar Dhawan
- Ajinkya Rahane
- Virat Kohli
- Rohit Sharma
- Suresh Raina
- Ambati Rayudu
- Ravindra Jadeja
- R Ashwin
- Stuart Binny
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar
- Mohammed Shami
