The left and right mix is at all times good for a staff and India have it in Rohit (Sharma) and Shikhar (Dhawan).
There is a large number of talk about India's No. 4 place. Who in line with you should be India's No. 4?
AB: It's a good query. If you ask me, I will be able to go for Virat Kohli. Virat should come and bat at No. 4 as a result of he is a match winner. If your two batsmen leave early, you will have Virat to take things on from there.
What is the largest difference in line with you between the 2003 Indian World Cup staff that misplaced the general vs Australia and the 2019 World Cup squad?
AB: India had bad gamers in that staff. You need world-class gamers to win a World Cup. In this staff, Bumrah is the one who jumps out. He has all the methods in his armoury going into the World Cup. Chahal is every other one. Dhoni is subsequent on my record. He will be a big issue for India of their World Cup marketing campaign. Of direction Virat, the sport changer. The previous Indian captains may have had a difficult time however this guy (Virat) is amazing. The method he is main the staff and taking them ahead is commendable.
On your ODI wickets record, you will have names like Sachin, Dravid, Laxman and Ganguly. How did it really feel to disregard one of the very best batsmen to have ever played the game?

Honestly, I had a good time towards India.
India underneath Sourav Ganguly's captaincy played some very good cricket in the 2003 World Cup. According to you why couldn't they go all the method and win the identify in that edition?

A few distractions have been round him that he is usually a match winner. I think he didn’t get correct make stronger to win that World Cup.
