I'm actually a bit disappointed that Pant wasn't picked but I expect to see him more regularly after Dhoni retires. I don't really see the immature side but I do see the inexperience. From memory, Karthik isn't really lighting up things with the bat and hasn't really done too much in the IPL either.
I'd have picked Umesh instead of Kumar as opposed to Jadeja. I love Kumar but he's been off form recently partly through to injury so I actually think he could become a bit of a liability. Also surprised Ashwin wasn't picked either.
Excited to see players like Rahul, Shankar and Pandya perform. Reckon this is Dhawan's last tournament as well.
I'm going to India vs West Indies at Old Trafford so will expect some huge hitting. Andre Russell has been utterly ridiculous at smashing the ball out the park in the IPL. Don't expect that to change if he's chosen for the slightly longer format. West Indies have undergone a big transition in the last 5-7 years and now they have the rewards with some of the players that have come through. Really wouldn't be surprised if they make the latter stages of the tournament.
