'Anshul Kamboj is slightly ahead' - Aakash Chopra analyses India's bowling dilemma ahead of 2027 ODI World Cup

As the national team plans toward the 2027 ODI World Cup, analysts are evaluating candidates to fill the crucial number eight batting and bowling role. With Harshit Rana currently sidelined due to an injury sustained during the West Indies series, selectors are exploring alternative seam-bowling all-rounders.

Aakash Chopra assessed the available contenders on his YouTube channel, noting that both Anshul Kamboj and Auqib Nabi received a single match opportunity in the recent series. Chopra observed that Kamboj appears slightly better suited for one-day internationals based on those initial evaluations, while established core bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Kuldeep Yadav remain secure in their positions.
