Though India's team for the World Cup is more or less selected, India's ODI vice-captain Rohit Sharma said yesterday that skipper Virat Kohli's 'preference' will play a major role in borderline cases for the showpiece event that starts on May 30.

To underline the captain's role in team combination, Rohit gave his own example. "I captain Mumbai Indians and know how it works. The preference of the captain is very important in terms of an extra spinner that you want in your squad, whether it is a batsman, bowler or spinner, so I think Virat and Ravi Shastri [head coach] have to decide what combination they want - the extra player, the extra cushion they are looking for… that is something which will matter," Rohit said during the launch of cricket.com website at a city hotel.
