#2 Virat Kohli at one down
This had to be there, hadn't it? Often termed, the greatest batsman of his generation, Virat Kohli is India's backbone. He has always been prolific, none like the last 3 years though. This year he has 1202 runs in 14 games, averaging a staggering 133.55! Let me remind you, 6 of these games were played in hostile South African conditions and 3 of them in England. How do you stop this guy? The only vulnerability, around the off-stump, that he seemed to have seems long gone. He is not someone who would succumb to knockout pressure, and he can single-handedly win his side games.
Unless he loses his form just before the World Cup, India is all good.
Kohli holds key to India's World Cup campaign, especially given a fragile middle order and a particularly long tail. Is he up for the task? Of course, he is!
