While Ravichandran Ashwin backed multiple senior cricketers for the World Cup, he surprisingly took Washington Sundar and Rishabh Pant out of his choice of players.
For the bowling, Ravichandran Ashwin again showed his trust mostly in the experienced candidates. Over Washington Sundar, he voted for Kuldeep Yadav as the main spinner of the team. Harshit Rana, Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah are the three pacers in Ashwin’s playing combination for the ODI World Cup.
Why did Ravichandran Ashwin select Bhuvneshwar Kumar for the 2027 ODI World Cup?
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, the 36-year-old pacer who helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to win Indian Premier League (IPL) titles in two consecutive seasons, has 19 wickets from 13 international matches at an average of 35.26, including best figures of 5/24 in South Africa.
“Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a yes. I would communicate to him. Get him to play all the tournaments, first-class, Vijay Hazare, everything, and get him prime going to South Africa. I think we will need him there,” Ashwin said to ESPNcricinfo.
In 121 One-Day Internationals, the fast bowler has clinched 141 wickets at an average of 35.11, with best figures of 5/42. Across the formats for the national team, Kumar has picked 294 wickets in 229 international matches. Bhuvneshwar Kumar's last match for Team India was against New Zealand in Napier on November 22, 2022, for a T20 International match.
Sanju Samson and Mohammed Shami are doubtful for the 2027 ODI World Cup selection
Washington Sundar, Sanju Samson, Rishabh Pant, Abhishek Sharma, Ravi Bishnoi, Shivam Dube, Prince Yadav and Gurnoor Brar are among the talents Ashwin ignored from his preferred playing combination.
