5 reasons why India can win ICC Cricket World Cup 2015

2. Batting – Dhawan, Rahane, Raina, Kohli and Dhoni have lit up the World Cup

All of the above mentioned batsmen have done what they were supposed to do. Dhawan has hit 2 centuries in this World Cup and Kohli hit one against Pakistan. While Dhoni got India home in a crunch game against West Indies with a fifty. The batting has not let India down in any game. The only player to not have made any significant contributions in games against Test playing nations is Rohit Sharma, but Dhoni has enough confidence in him to keep opening with him.

The batting is India’s major strength. The support they are getting from the bowlers is just the icing on the cake. The pressure on batsmen has reduced with bowlers performing admirably. India is known to chase down big totals and hence need to have their batting in top form. It was the batting which won India the 2011 World Cup and it is the batting that can win India the 2015 World Cup.
