#2 India
India is probably the most consistent team in ICC Tournaments after the debacle in 2007 World Cup. India boasts of a strong side which is led by the talismanic Virat Kohli. India arguably has the best top 3 in the world with Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli topping the batting charts.
The middle order comprises of Ambati Rayudu and Kedar Jadhav. Power hitting duties will belong to the experienced duo of MS Dhoni and Hardik Pandya.
The Men in Blue have a very promising bowling attack with Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar leading the attack. Hardik Pandya has been quite effective as the third seamer.
The team also boasts of variety in spin bowling with the wrist-spin duo Yuvzendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav bamboozling the batsmen all over the world. Kedar Jadhav has been superb as the sixth bowling option for India.
India have a team that can take them all the way if they are successful in masking their middle order woes and being consistent with the ball throughout the tournament.
