Virat Kohli will play a crucial role in the ODI World Cup campaign
Virat's performance while chasing a target in the limited-over format has been immense and if India are to lift that coveted trophy on November 19, the Indian batter needs to be at his very best. The home side has had some very good performances overall and they will be put through paces against the Kiwis in the next clash. The injury to Hardik Pandya will be a big blow and it remains to be seen how they cope without their star all-rounder.
