India could well go into their World Cup opener against South Africa today with two seamers, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah with all-rounder Hardik Pandya lending support to the pace department. This means Mohammed Shami will be out of the playing XI that could will include the two wrist spinners, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal.

There will be no change to the top five batters (Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Mahendra Singh Dhoni) but there could be a tussle between Kedar Jadhav, Vijay Shankar and Ravindra Jadeja. There is a good possibility of Jadeja and Kedar missing out with Vijay getting the nod.
