Watch the World Cup anthem below and reaction of the fans:






Coming to Yuzvendra, he was dropped from thr Asia Cup squad and was later ignored for the World Cup as well. One of the reasons behind his sacking was the constant rise of other wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav and Chahal's lack of batting skills. Kuldeep has been among wickets in ODIs for the last one year, winning the trust of the management. Team India are looking for bowling all-rounders or bowlers who can at least bat a little. Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel were picked in the side for the same reason.


Kuldeep is no mug with the bat and will come to bat at the fall of seventh wicket. With Axar getting injured in Asia Cup, the name of Chahal is still not being discussed as replacement player because of the same reason. Rohit told the press after India won the Asia Cup that he is constantly in touch with off-spinners R Ashwin and Washington Sundar over the phone. Rohit and selectors picked Axar in the initial squad but he if is injured, then Ashwin or Sundar could be roped in.


Ashwin and Sundar both feature in the squad for the ODIs vs Australia, that starts on September 22.
