#5 India

Since its humiliating defeat at the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 final against the arch-rivals Pakistan, the Indian team made big changes to their squad by dropping the spin duo of Ashwin and Jadeja and replacing them with the wrist-spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal.
Since their inclusion to the side, the results have been good for Team India in the limited overs format. The problem of not getting breakthroughs in the middle overs was solved and the bowling looked much more dominant than ever, equally, complemented by the pacers.
India go to this World Cup as the overwhelming favourites, courtesy their wrist spinners who have been in tremendous form and have been contributing well in the team's recent success against every opponent.
