Aakash Chopra picks the Indian team for the World Cup on his YouTube channel. He said, "It is quite simple. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will open the innings. Virat Kohli will be in the team. Since Rishabh Pant is not available, I will go with Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja. Hardik Pandya will definitely make the team." However, I do not see Ishaan Kishan as an option in the middle order. He can be the option of the third opening batsman.

The former Indian batsman further said, "In the bowling department, I will go with Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami and then Yuzvendra Chahal. I think Kuldeep Yadav will also be in my team.
