“Shubman Gill (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul – this is the top five. This is the same top five as the Champions Trophy. So it has been continued. Ishan Kishan has been picked in the 15. Currently, he is someone who is scoring runs and is ready for the format. Then Hardik Pandya and Nitish Kumar Reddy. Almost like-for-like. I like that actually. Maybe you will not be able to play spin-bowling all-rounders. That brings me to Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja. Two left-arm spinners, both very experienced. Again, like-for-like replacements. The all-rounders picked by Sunny sir, all four are like-for-like replacements. Makes sense,” said Chopra in a video posted on X.
