While many criticized Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for their inconsistent performances, the senior batters shut their critics by showing glimpses of their old self as they returned to form and got the scorecard ticking. Opening the batting unit, the Indian skipper play fearlessly  gives a brilliant start to the team.

On the other hand, his opening partner Shubman Gill registered a brilliant century against Bangladesh. The middle order batters too were consistent in putting runs in each match, and scored good runs under their names. Hence it is safe to say that the Indian side showed a strong and all round batting unit.

Excellent Team Balance

India’s team is well rounded with a good balance of  experienced players and young talent. Their all rounder players such as Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel and Ravindara  Jadeja  are performing well in the tournament. Although the team hasn’t needed them to pull off a dramatic win yet, they are certainly capable of winning matches for India and their fielding has also been impressive too.

All rounders play a crucial role in strengthening a team’s batting lineup, which helps them win matches. Additionally, when a specialist bowler has an off day, all-rounders can contribute by taking wickets, making  it easier for the captain to manage the game. Having all-rounders, provides the captain with multiple options to rotate the bowlers, ultimately benefiting the team. The presence of all rounders is a significant factor in winning the matches.

Easier Venue Adaptability

Unlike the other participants of Champions Trophy, who play their matches at different venues in Pakistan, India will feel easier to adapt to the venue as they play all their matches at a single venue, the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Understanding the venue conditions is just the first step. The real challenge is to create strategies based on those conditions and execute them flawlessly to stay consistent and build momentum. However it will not take long for the team India to adapt to it.
