#2 India

With the form, the current Indian One-Day team is in and the strength they have in their squad the men in blue are one of the favorites to go all the way and lift the World Cup at Lord's. India would believe that anything less than a top 2 finish would be a major disappointment for the Virat Kohli led side. This Indian side possesses a great balance in their lineup.
The likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shikhar Dhawan have more or less always been amongst runs whenever they have played white ball cricket in England. In Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, they have two of the best death bowlers. Add the experience of MS Dhoni and the flamboyance of players such as Hardik Panda and KL Rahul, the Virat Kohli-led side would definitely be the team to beat at the World Cup.
In all likelihood, India should seal a spot in the final four at the World Cup.
