"In the last one year, Kuldeep and Chahal have won us many games. But there might be a situation when you require an additional all-rounder in the playing XI, which Jadeja brings in, and in the second part of the tournament, wickets may be a bit drier so that's where we think Jadeja will come in handy," MSK Prasad said." 

Mohammad Shami will be part of India's pace attack. 

Although, his inclusion in the Playing XI is still doubtful.
