There are still a few days left for India’s first match of the World Cup against Pakistan, but the team management is already on the job to work out the best possible combination. There are indications that Mohit Sharma could be the top choice for the way he has bowled so far in Australia.
“Initially, there was a worry that Ishant’s injury could be big blow for the side, but Mohit’s approach in the triangular series and in World Cup practice matches has impressed the management. He could be an automatic choice for the Pakistan game,” a source informed Drcricket7.
Whether captain MS Dhoni would opt for two or three pace bowling option is still a muddle, but it’s a fact that Mohit is in the thick of things already. And his form with the ball augurs well for India. “He is bowling the well on flat Australian wickets, which is the need of the hour,” the source added.
