The World Cup is going to start from October 5 and in this Mahakumbh of cricket, India will play its first match against Australia on October 8. All 10 countries have also announced their teams for the World Cup and now all eyes are on the playing eleven. There is a lot of discussion about India’s playing eleven for the first match of the World Cup, because finalizing the playing eleven seems to be a difficult task for the team management. Meanwhile, former Indian batsman Aakash Chopra has selected his playing eleven for the first match of the World Cup.

No place for Shreyas Iyer

The biggest change that Aakash Chopra has made in the playing eleven selected for the first match against Australia is that Shreyas Iyer has not been given a place in it. In Aakash Chopra’s playing eleven, KL Rahul has been placed at number 4 in place of Iyer. Suryakumar Yadav is also a part of this playing eleven. Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav had performed well in both the ODIs against Australia.
