2) The strongest batting lineup?

Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan are one of the finest opening pairs in the game right now.

Today's cricket is definitely more of a batsman's game than a bowler's, where high-scoring matches have become a common occurrence. Chasing scores in excess of 300 is a piece of cake these days, because of the overall increase in aggressive approach taken by batting side.

The Indian team has few of the very finest hard-hitters of the ball in its lineup and often makes opposition bowlers bite the dust. Openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan have evolved into one of the finest opening pairs in the history of Indian cricket.

Also, no one is stranger to the exploits of KL Rahul with the bat at the top of the order. Ajinkya Rahane is another batsman who can slot in any position and provides a lot of versatility.

Veterans like Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu and Dinesh Karthik bring with them tonnes of experience that helps them to control the pace of the match as and when required.

The lower batting order has the ex-captain MS Dhoni whose batting skills need no introduction. In Hardik Pandya, India has one of the finest all-rounders of the game.
