Chesteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane are placed in the middle order. Wriddhiman Saha is going to be Wicket-Keeper. Karun Nair is being chosen as a reserve batsman.

Ravichandran Ashwin, Amit Mishra, Ravindra Jadeja and Jayant Yadav are the four spinners in the squad.

Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav will be pacers.
