Hope India Go with this Playing 11

Pujara
Kohli
Rahane
KL Rahul (Wk)
Jadeja
Ashwin
Thakur
Shami
Siraj

3 Pacers & 2 Spinners is good enough attack for Oval Pitch as it will turn from Day 3 onwards.

This is the best 11 if KL agrees to keep wickets.
Ashwin/Umesh depending on the conditions

Rahane's selection is not just because of IPL. There were talks about him in the squad even before his IPL performance. I think it was the obvious choice since Iyer and Pant are out.

It is going to be overcast bro . Spinning conditions normally happen in the second half of Summers ( July / August) . In June , the wicket will support the Pacers mostly so playing 2 spinners might be risky . If u remember, even in the last WTC final in Southampton, playing 2 spinners was a blunder

I think they should go with Umesh instead of any one of the 2 spinners

England condition still Hardik pandya just because it's wtc

Shardul Thakur is better player than him for sure. That's why he is not being picked.

If he plays, and he doesn't perform then he will be dropped for Iyer again?

I agree but KLRahul as a keeper is no go. I know Bharat didn't have good series but KLRahul is no go.

So it seems temporary adjustment. I wish he keeps Iyer out for another two years with match winning performance in WTC Final.

It's a short sighted decision. If he fails selectors might go for any youngster like sarfaraz. Selectors went for the safe choice in the big final.
