The ICC Men's ODI World Cup will take place from October 2 to November 21 next year. After the release of the long-awaited schedule of the tournament, teams across the globe have started preparing for it. The Indian team is not an exception to that. But the fans of cricket are more worried about the bowling of India than the batting. It is because of the beating of the Indian bowling team by the West Indies batting team in the recent ODI series on home ground. Therefore, Ajinkya Rahane has selected his favorite bowling team for the 2027 Men's ODI World Cup. The post was shared on Sony Sports.
According to Sony Sports post on Saturday, Ajinkya Rahane has selected Jasprit Bumrah as the first choice among the five fast bowlers of India in the 2027 ODI World Cup. Apart from him, he has selected Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj, and Mayank Yadav in his list. "Jasprit Bumrah is without a doubt the first choice. Arshdeep Singh is the second, Prasidh Krishna is the third, Mohammed Siraj is the fourth, and Mayank Yadav is the fifth," said Ajinkya Rahane.
The most interesting name in Ajinkya Rahane's list is Mayank Yadav, who has yet to make his ODI debut for the Indian team. Despite this, Ajinkya Rahane has included him among the potential fast bowlers for the upcoming 2027 ODI World Cup.
Ajinkya Rahane has not selected Mohammed Shami for the upcoming ICC Men's ODI World Cup. This is despite the fact that Mohammed Shami is India's most successful bowler in the history of the ODI World Cup. He also performed brilliantly in the 2023 ODI World Cup, finishing as the tournament's leading wicket-taker. He last played for the Indian team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Ajinkya Rahane has also excluded Harshit Rana from his list. Harshit Rana, who made his international debut in the Perth Test against Australia in November 2024, has played for India in all three formats. He is considered a trusted player of head coach Gautam Gambhir. However, he did not find a place in Ajinkya Rahane's potential five-member fast bowling unit.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar is also not among Ajinkya Rahane's choices. Bhuvneshwar has returned to the Indian T20 International team following his impressive performance in the IPL. His return is also being linked to the upcoming 2027 ODI World Cup.
