Indian team has continued their winning streak, which started last year from home series against New Zealand last year. Indian team is looking settled at the moment.
KL Rahul & Virat Kohli both are likely to back in team for T-20 world cup squad.
Indian team will have few matches to settle their playing 11, they will participate T-20 Asia in late august. Indian team will play against Australia as well in September, so squad will have ample time for match practice. Thing which is worrying is Virat Kohli form with the bat.
Virat Kohli form would be crucial for Indian team in upcoming T-20 World Cup; KL Rahul lack of match practice could also hamper match preparations.
Thing which Indian team needs to improve is fielding, in the ODI Series as well, team dropped many simple catches which could prove costly in world cup.
Indian support staff has added Paddy Upton for next 4 months till end of T-20 World cup which could play a big part, given the amount of cricket being played these days. Players get mentally tired; Paddy Upton has been part of Indian dressing room back when Gary Kristen was the head coach of the Indian team. Paddy Upton has worked closely with Virat Kohli previously and other players like R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Dinesh Karthik.
Indian fans would love to see Indian cricket team lifting T-20 World Cup after a gap of 15 years.
