#1 Battle for supremacy
Trending
One thing that India would be fighting hard for is to stamp their seal of supremacy in the modern day cricket. Under a new age captain, the Indian cricket team is playing some fearless and inspiring cricket all over the world. Defeating a quality World XI side would not only confirm India as a cricketing superpower but would also do a world of good to the confidence of the youngsters in the team.
On the other hand, the World XI would fight for everything from proving their mettle to saving their pride. When they lost to Australia back in 2005, they had faced quite an embarrassing situation and would not want that to repeat against India.

It would also be a tough challenge for the captains. Both Virat and Smith are doing a commendable job leading their respective national teams but leading their teams in this high-profile match would test their leadership skills.
Virat would have to inspire his team to face a daunting opposition and make them believe that they can come out victorious. Whereas Steve Smith would have to lead a group of unfamiliar individuals from different nations and make them play as one unit. He would have to lead the way from the front and make sure that each player gives his best.
As a true cricket fan, It would be really fascinating to see who would conquer these demons and come out on top in this cricketing spectacle.
