#2 India
Strengths: India are one of the top contenders for lifting the World Cup and under Virat Kohli, they have a really strong side.
Trending
Their top order is one of the best in the league and with Virat Kohli at No.3, their batting order looks very strong. Also, their openers are one of the most experienced and dangerous players in the league and with Shikhar Dhawan having a record of doing well in ICC tournaments, their top order is one of India's strengths.
Also, the presence of X-Factor players like Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah as well as the experience, power and the recent form of MS Dhoni is another positive for the Indian side.
Weaknesses: Figuring out where India lack isn't going to be too tough and it's about who the No.4 batsman will be for the Indian side. With Vijay Shankar having a tough time in the IPL, Kedar Jadhav too, and KL Rahul failing to make use of his opportunity, the No.4 spot is still hanging in the balance.
