Team India Preview:
The Indian players are looking in terrific form and will be clear favourites of this World Cup. Form of Hardik Pandya and Bhuvneshwar is cause of concern for the team but rest all are looking in good touch.
Hardik Pandya is still not fit to bowl so Virat can bowl 1 or 2 overs if required.
