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!
