Top 3 contenders to win the 2019 Cricket World Cup 

#2 India

India has been dominant under Virat Kohli

The Virat Kohli led-Indian side will go into the World Cup as one of the favourites to win the coveted title. The Indian team, which was considered to be strong only playing in sub-continental conditions, has been putting up strong performances in overseas conditions too. The ODI series win against South Africa in their own backyard is an example of India's newfound ability to perform in any condition.

One of the prime reasons for this vast improvement is India's bowling. Indian bowlers have long struggled in overseas conditions, especially bowling in the death. But with the emergence of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah, that issue is sorted out. In Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav, India has one of the most potent spin bowling attacks in the world.

Batting has always been India's forte and it continues to be so. Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan are one of the most successful opening pairs India has ever had. And with stalwarts like MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli in the side, Indian fans can certainly hope for the third World Cup title.
