Team India’s middle-order in the One-Day International has not settled yet despite giving chances to every possible player at number four. The ICC Cricket World Cup is nearing and the unsettled middle-order is increasing the headache for team management. Amidst, India’s top-three looked unscathed and are likely to threaten the other teams in the tournament with their powers with the bat.
The top-three batsmen of India have won them several memorable matches in the past. India’s victory and defeat depend upon their form. And Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli are expected to do well in the upcoming World Cup to held the fragile looking middle-order together.

Meanwhile, former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly heaped praises for this Indian trio and mention that Rohit-Dhawan-Kohli makes the lineup that is unmatched in the cricket fraternity at the moment.

India will play their first match against South Africa in Southampton on June 5.
“Team India ke top 3 jo hai, kisi aur ke paas itni quality nahi hai (No team in the world can match the quality of Team India’s top three),” Ganguly said about the trio who has 79 hundreds between them in ODIs.

Indian openers failed to fire during the recently concluded five-match ODI series against Australia. India was at the firm control over the series after winning first two matches, but Australia made a strong comeback and won the remaining games and bagged the series by 3-2. Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma failed miserably during the series and managed only single 100+ opening stand. On the other hand, Indian skipper Kohli tried his best to hold the forte and hit two consecutive hundreds in Nagpur and Ranchi.
