India will miss the services of Virat Kohli

You may or may not agree, but the fact is Virat Kohli's absence will play a huge role in this tournament. He has been in the form of his life and was the top scorer in the recently concluded India-England series.

He finished the series with 593 runs at an average of 59.30. With the Indian captain given some rest, it will be a huge disappointment to the fans as most of them dash to the stadium just to watch this man score runs.

Virat has been playing non-stop cricket for the past few months and with the bigger tour of Australia coming up this November, selectors have decided that it is time he gets to rest. In his absence, Rohit Sharma is set to don the captain's hat.

Virat's absence will not only hurt India's chances but also the tournament's overall revenue and the TRP.
