India has begun their World Cup campaign against South Africa and they have scalped two wickets with Jasprit Bumrah taking the wickets of Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock. Meanwhile, India will like to tick the right boxes in the World Cup. In fact, one Achilles Heel in India’s team is the unpredictable middle order.

Kapil Dev backs India to go all the way.

If India can come with consistent performances in the middle order, they are going to go a long way in the multi-team tournament. India’s top three batsmen have done the lion share of the scoring. Furthermore, India’s bowling line-up has taken giant strides in the recent past.

“I want the team to play with their full dedication and win the World Cup,” Kapil Dev told ANI.

On the other hand, India will like to come up with a complete performance in the World Cup. They are in red hot form and would like to continue their domination.

Meanwhile, Indian skipper Virat Kohli has led with aplomb in the recent past. Furthermore, Kohli is the best batsman in the World Cup and he is going to hold the key for the side. Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan have provided a great start to the side and they would like to give a good platform to their side.

On the other side, India’s pace battery has improved by leaps and bounds. Jasprit Bumrah has breathed down the neck of the best batsmen in the world and he is going to be instrumental in the success of the side.
