Kane will be playing his debut world cup.

It has been more than 50 years now since England, the country that gave us football, won a FIFA World Cup. Despite having strong squads over the years, they seem to be caught in a jinx. In Russia, the onus to break this jinx will be on their captain, Harry Kane.

At Tottenham, Kane has been finding the net consistently for the last four seasons. His numbers justify his market valuation as world's most expensive striker. With Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford playing alongside him, the English attack can run riots over oppositions.

The 2017-18 season saw Kane score 43 goals in 50 matches. He achieved his career-best tally in EPL, scoring 30 goals, just two behind top-scorer Mohamed Salah. Playing his first world cup, 24-year-old Harry Kane will be under tremendous pressure to deliver. Nevertheless, he has what it takes to achieve success on a stage like this.
