India's 2027 World Cup Squad: Three Young Players To Watch
A few promising players are expected to be key figures in India's campaign for the ICC 2027 ODI World Cup tournament.
India recently won the Champions Trophy 2025 title with a four-wicket win over New Zealand in the final. While senior players played a major role in the triumph, several young stars also made a strong impact.
With the focus now shifting to ICC 2027 ODI World Cup, the Indian cricket team's composition and leadership remain undecided. However, a few promising players are expected to be key figures in India's campaign for the marquee tournament.
Three young cricketers who are expected to play 2027 World Cup
Varun Chakravarthy
Mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy has emerged as a match-winner for India, particularly in ICC Champions Trophy 2025, where he picked up nine wickets, including a game-changing five-wicket haul against New Zealand.
His ability to deceive batters with his variations has made him a key player in T20 cricket, and he could be an integral part of India's ODI squad as well.
Yashasvi Jaiswal
Dynamic left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is a strong contender for India's 2027 ODI World Cup squad. Initially named in India's Champions Trophy 2025 squad, he was dropped at the last moment.
However, Jaiswal has already demonstrated his immense potential, particularly in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. He has scored 1,798 runs in 19 Test matches at an impressive average of 52.88. While his ODI experience is limited to just one game (15 runs), he has made a mark in T20Is with 723 runs in 23 matches. His aggressive style makes him a valuable asset for India's future.
Mayank Yadav
Pace sensation Mayank Yadav has garnered attention with his express speed in the IPL. Having made his T20 debut for India last year, he has already shown glimpses of brilliance.
His ability to consistently clock high speeds makes him a strong candidate for the 2027 ODI World Cup. If he continues to perform at the highest level, he could become an important part of India's pace attack.
