S Badrinath picks India’s 2027 World Cup Core, leaves out Ravindra Jadeja

Former national team batter Subramaniam Badrinath has outlined his core roster preferences for the upcoming global one-day tournament in 2027, omitting seasoned all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. His selections feature established veterans like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli alongside bowling spearheads Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav, while placing conditions on the participation of Hardik Pandya.

For the batting order, the former player backed Shubman Gill to open alongside Sharma and potentially captain the side, with KL Rahul slotted in behind the stumps at number five. A decision for the fourth batting position remains split between Shreyas Iyer and Ruturaj Gaikwad, balancing spin-playing ability against regional pitch conditions in Africa.
