#2 India

2013 and 2017, India have done brilliantly in the Champions Trophy, both of which were held in England and there is no reason why Virat Kohli and crew should not extend their dominance in 2019.
The side is fairly settled – they will get more insight after the England tour gets over, and the roles are clearly defined.
Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and skipper Kohli can win matches all on their own. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah are superb with the ball and then they have the wrist spinners in Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav.
The team has all the bases covered, and should definitely make it to the top four, if not go all the way.
