“The feeling of a T20 WC win has ben over a decade now. SO much has changed, but the feeling has not come now. It is time for the feeling to return back. The time has come to bring the cup home. It has been long since that winning feel. Lets go India,” he said in the Star Sports World Cup promo video.

It is no secret, India have always been a strong contender for ICC titles. With a strong bunch of Indian players, they will be hoping to shine in Australia. India are in Group of the Super 12, which comprises of Bangladesh, Pakistan, South Africa and two teams from the first round.

It is always their batting, which looks super strong. The likes of KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma instil fear in the opponents. Add Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya in the mix, India have it in them to outbat teams.
But there are worrying shines for Team India ahead of the World Cup. There are concerns in the bowling line-up. India have been found wanting in the death overs, and the form of Bhuvneshwar Kumar is another worry. Without Jasprit Bumrah, India showed their weaknesses in the bowling department. In fact, they failed to even reach the final of the Asia Cup.
