Team profile
India
The most-followed cricket team on the planet.
India enter most contests as favourites at home and as serious contenders away. A deep batting lineup, world-class spin and a maturing pace battery make them one of the most balanced sides across formats. Tactically, India's recent trend has been to load the top order with intent — extracting value in the powerplay rather than holding back for the death.
Tactical strengths
- Top-three depth — multiple match-winners through the powerplay
- Spin pair through the middle overs at home
- Death-overs hitting from designated finishers
Areas under pressure
- Pace-friendly conditions overseas continue to test the middle order
- Reliance on a few senior players in must-win games
