#3 India
India is also among the favorites to lift the World Cup. They have won on two occasions, and they will look to bring it back home for a third time. They have a solid batting line-up which will be headed by Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli. They will have a slightly inexperienced Vijay Shankar as their No. 4 batsman.
MS Dhoni, Kedar Jadhav and Hardik Pandya will be aggressive batsmen in the playing XI and they will look to up the ante during the latter half of the innings. They have a solid bowling attack with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal.
They have a really good squad at their disposal, and they have been brilliant in overseas conditions. India will look to continue their good run of form, and it will be a massive disappointment for them if they fail to qualify for the semis.
