India can win World Twenty20

1. Team back in groove

After the match against England, India has emerged as the team to beat at the World Twenty20. Here is why...

After being beaten by New Zealand in Chennai prior to the World Twenty20 campaign and the subsequent defeat in the hands of archrivals Pakistan in the second warm-up game, Team India looked rusty and jaded. However, the stupendous show against England on a tricky wicket revealed the vibrant side of the team.

2. Adaptable Dhoni

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been always known to be a good finisher. His adaptable style of batting is a big asset for the team. The Indian skipper often plays the role of a floater depending to the situation. In this edition Dhoni is playing the same role as during the successful 2011 World Cup campaign.

Irfan Pathan's return to form has ensured a perfect balance to the team. Though we can't count him as an all-rounder yet, he is a very effective bowler, who can bat and field incredibly well.
