Team India are firing on all cylinders in the World Cup. Not that they have not had their share of problems. But they have overcome them all with grit and determination. The most heartening has been the performance of the bowling unit. That was one area where there were doubts due to form and fitness issues. However, they were driven away with some spectacular performances in the Asia Cup.

India’s bowling resources are such that they can afford to bench players of the caliber of Mohammed Shami and Ravichandran Ashwin. Most of the teams in the World Cup would give their right arm to have Shami and Ashwin in their XI, especially in Indian conditions.
