Virat Kohli feels the heat of high expectation from Indians during cool weather in England as World Cup starts from May 30. The first match on May 30 will be played between England and South Africa. India’s World Cup campaign will start from June 5 with a match against South Africa.

Role of experienced Indian Team Players

There maybe some out form players like Rohit Sharma and Captain Virat Kohli in the Indian team but the team looks powerful on paper. What’s important is the experience the Indian team has with the potential of each player as a match winner. A special effort from Shikhar Dhawan and a couple of others like Hardik Pandya and Mohammed Shami can put India on top. Even Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a better bowler along with super hero Jasprit Bumrah to strengthen the Indian bowling. Jasprit Bumrah is an exceptional bowler and can tease any top batsmen with his variations.

Between Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal, who can make into the playing eleven will be interesting to know. Both are good spinners and highly experienced but looks like a toss of coin can decide their fate.

Forget IPL T20 & Play ODI Better

Rohit Sharma needs to forget his poor performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Well, that was T20 cricket and this World Cup offers a long days cricket of 50 overs a side. One Day International cricket is all about patience and aggression.

When you have players like Shikhar Dhawan in the side, who can give India a better start then there’s no worry for Kohli. Kohli at the fall of first wicket comes to bat in ODIs. If there’s a chance that the first Indian wicket falls late then Kohli can capitalize well.

India desperately wants to win this World Cup 2019 under the leadership of Virat Kohli. Well, there’s always support from the agile MS Dhoni for Kohli and there’s nothing to bother India in terms of their joint effort. Kohli and Dhoni if bat well through out the tournament, then there will be icing on the cake for India.
