#2 India
The top 3 that comprises of Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli is probably the best in world cricket right now. One of the reasons why India have been consistently winning in ODI cricket is because of the starts that they get in almost every game.
While Rohit takes some time to settle in, the left handed Shikhar Dhawan gives the early impetus. And then at No. 3 comes the best batsman across all formats in world cricket right now, Indian captain Virat Kohli.
With Ambati Rayudu more or less sealing the No. 4 spot, India have a batsman who’s busy at the crease and can complement the top 3 with fluent strokeplay in the middle overs.
Hardik Pandya could be the ‘o-to man to finish the innings on a high as he is capable of big hits against both pace and spin. If MS Dhoni finds his old rhythm and produces quick cameos, India could be doubly dangerous.
