On paper, India probably has one of the strongest squads heading into the World Cup. Virat Kohli remains one of the most destructive batsmen in world cricket today, MS Dhoni is one of the fastest thinking glovemen even at his advanced age and their two fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are at the height of their powers.

The Indian batting line-up, when all are fit and firing will be able to go step for step with the English batting from the openers in Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma, through to Kohli and Dhoni. Even their all-rounders like Pandya and Jadeja know how to bat when called upon.

They also have a ferocious bowling attack, with the two fast men at the top backed up by spin of Chahal, Yadav, and Jadeja. On top of this, India has quite the selection of back-ups at their disposal, with the likes of KL Rahul likely to be on the team's periphery and can be called up if Dhoni requires a break.
