The team is in good shape and most of the players featuring in the side are proven match winners. India\u2019s strength is their batting line-up and they have some of the best batsmen in the world. Virat Kohli is going through great form and he will look forward to carry his momentum. India will open their innings with Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag and if they get going then things will get difficult for the other teams. Then in the middle order they have Kohli, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh who can run rampage at any given situation.<\/p>\n
Bowling department will be spearheaded by the experienced Zaheer Khan and will be supported by Irfan Pathan, R Ashwin and Harbhajan Singh. There might be a little concern as far as the bowling is concerned as seen in the past and they will have to avoid it.<\/p>\n
