From top to bottom, the current Indian cricket team is full of match-winners. In fact, the current Indian team’s bench strength is so powerful that even with a second-string playing XI, they can beat top teams. Even India’s T20 World Cup lineup of 15 is missing two of their most experienced players in Shikhar Dhawan and Yuzvendra Chahal. India’s young cricketers are strong and fearless in this regard.

SRH removed Warner from the captaincy in the first leg of the IPL this year and when the league resumed in th...
