With a brilliant century against Bangladesh in the warm-up game, KL Rahul looks the favourite to seal the number 4 spot. The experienced MS Dhoni would be coming at number 5. Kedar Jadhav who did not feature in the first two warm-up games might be fit for the first game. Hardik Pandya completes the lineup.
The Indian bowling line up looks solid with the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar. They have two top quality spinners in the form of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal who have performed well in tandem. Ravindra Jadeja is the third spinner included in the squad and could be selected in the playing XI for the first match against South Africa on 5th June at Southampton.
