It is a well-known notion in the world of cricket that to win major tournaments, a side needs proper balance. Great batsmen, bowlers and all-rounders have failed to win cricket's biggest prize simply because lifting a World Cup demands great sort of composure in a side.

When we take this Indian contingent into consideration, then there is one satisfying fact and that is how balanced this unit looks on paper. Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan - two smashing openers who have all the skills in their arsenal to hurt any bowling attack, followed by arguably the best batsman in the world in Virat Kohli, thus making India's top order a force to reckon.

The presence of Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a big boost to India's chances simply because he brings a lot of calmness to the side and his presence in the middle is a thing of blessing for the ardent Indian cricket supporters.

From possessing a great batting unit to a potent bowling attack, this Indian side is well balanced and will definitely go all guns blazing this summer in England.
