1. Rohit Sharma

India captain Rohit Sharma will continue to open in Kaif's Playing 11 for World Cup.

2. Shubman Gill

Kaif wants Shubman Gill to open with Rohit Sharma, not Ishan Kishan.

3. Virat Kohli

This is quite an obvious. Kohli at No 3 for India in ODIs.

4. Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer is a must at No 4 in India XI for World Cup, as far as Kaif's team is concerned.

5. KL Rahul

Interesting choice of a wicketkeeper and batter. Kaif picks a fit KL Rahul over Ishan Kishan or Sanju Samson.

6. Hardik Pandya

India's pace-bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya needs to bowl, bat and field and should bat at four down.

7. Ravindra Jadeja

Kaif is trusting Ravindra Jadeja to play the role of a finisher for Team India.

8. Shardul Thakur/Axar Patel

India should look to adopt a horses-for-courses plan while picking the No 8. Patel and Thakur can play looking at the nature of the track.

9. Kuldeep Yadav

No place for Yuzvendra Chahal in the playing XI, as per Kaif. He chooses Kuldeep instead.

10. Mohammed Shami

Mohammed Shami will be one of the two main pacers in the India XI during World Cup, for Kaif.

11. Jasprit Bumah

Jasprit Bumrah is definitely going to feature in every India XI in the World Cup if his body keeps itself fit.
