#3 Complacency

The two most important things that the Virat Kohli and the team management should control before the Men in Blue take the field for the finals are complacency and lack of efforts on the part of the players.

Although the Indian team recorded a thumping 124 runs victory over Pakistan in their first match of this iconic tournament, the Pakistan outfit has drastically turned things around to script their way into the finals of the tournament.

The Indian team needs to put their best foot forward going into the final if they wish to get past their arch rivals in this high-voltage clash and successfully defend their title.

Lack of efforts and taken for granted attitude will surely dent their chances of winning the match.
