Ajinkya Rahane, who will be making his comeback, is slotted at No.5 by Tom Moody. With lots of speculations around the keeper in the team, he picked KS Bharat instead of Ishan Kishan citing that it’ll be tough for the left-hander to bat in the middle as he’s a natural opener. 

Ravindra Jadeja will be an all-rounder in the team alongside Shardul Thakur in the team. The pace battery that he choose was formidable. He backed Mohammed Siraj, Mohammad Shami and Umesh Yadav as three front-line fast bowlers.
