Five Reasons India can win the ICC Champions Trophy 2013

4. Pace battery:

The rise of speedster Bhuvneshwar Kumar has given Indian team a lethal bowler who can be used upfront. The swing he gets in the air is enough to trouble any world-class batsman, and is suitable in English conditions. His opening spells have been economical, which has been a boon. His opening bowling partner Umesh Yadav, on the other hand, relies on raw pace. He has hit the deck and contained the batsman. The lanky Ishant Sharma completes the pace trio. The bounce that Ishant gets due to the high arm action and good height makes life difficult for batsmen. Thus, this time around, the pace attack is a potent weapon in the tournament.
