The last warm-up game for India against Bangladesh would have brought relief in the dug-out as almost all their concerns were settled. Rahul hit a century and in all probability settled the number four debate.
MS Dhoni hit an incredible century and again showed the cricketing world his importance to the Indian Team.
Inspired by the monumental effort of Rahul and Dhoni, India posted a massive total of 359-7 at the end of their innings. Chasing 359, Bangladesh never looked in control of the chase and eventually surrendered to give India an empathetic 95-run win
Heading into the official phase of the tournament, India have most of their concerns settled.
The Number four spot, MS Dhoni’s hitting ability and the Kuldeep’s form, all of it seems pretty good for the men in blue as of now.
As far as the openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma are concerned, they won’t take much time to get into the act and provide India with solid starts once the World Cup officially kicks off.
India will start their World Cup campaign against South Africa on 5 June and is labelled as one of the favorites along with the home team, England.
The last time India played an ICC tournament in England, they reached the final but lost to Pakistan who became Champions Trophy 2017 Winners. This time they would like to that that extra step and bring the World Cup home.
