Thanks for your question Rohit. It is nearly impossible to evaluate your chances without knowing more about your profile in terms of your professional/community leadership and personal story. I will answer the concrete question on hand however. Your verbal score is very low. Do you think you could have done better? I ask because the score may raise a red flag about your English skills, so you might want to consider retaking the exam. As you evaluate target schools, you should also compare your GMAT score to the average GMAT of the recently admitted class. This will also give you a sense of where you stand. If you are significantly below the average, you can consider retaking the exam to boost the score (especially if there are other weaknesses in your application).

Best of luck!
