Cricket News: Problem of plenty for Virat Kohli ahead of World Cup?

Almost every cricket pundit has predicted an India–England final at Lord's, given how the two sides have shown promise and consistency over the past year. But stepping back a bit, Team India is still struggling to find their best 15 players for cricket’s most prestigious tournament, and with just one bilateral series remaining, 3 matches to be precise, before the World Cup, India will try to answer the unanswered. Though the selectors might have zeroed in on a few players, it’s no secret that some slots are still up for grabs. In the first two matches, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul have not got opportunities. With three matches left in the series and with India 2-0 up, one of these two is likely to get the game in the next match. Also, Bhuvneshwar Kumar will join the team for these matches, which means Jasprit Bumrah or Shami will be rested. Ravindra Jadeja is part of the current squad, but if Hardik Pandya has to be played then one from Vijay Shankar or Jadeja will get the final ticket. Also, will be interesting to see if Dinesh Karthik gets the England and Wales ticket. Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif is of the opinion that Kohli’s headache to select 15-man squad for the world cup is a good thing.
