The Cup of Joy

World Cup fever is on a rise. As usual the Indian team is looking good on the paper but really can this team recreate the magic of 1983? Here are the top 5 factors that can win the world cup for us:

1. Fielding - Grab every opportunity that comes your way! Smart catches, accurate throws, desperate saves, these are the things that create pressure on the opposition.

2. Partnerships - The batsman should not bat individually looking to score all the runs by themselves. The batsman should focus on keeping the scoreboard ticking.

3. Accurate Bowling - The bowlers need to be accurate, especially in the first fifteen overs. don't try too many things just stick to a good line and length.

4. Captaincy - Dhoni's captaincy would be challenged in this tournament. Mostly the pitches will be conducive for batting and hence the field placement and bowling changes need to be spot on.

5. Aggression - The Indian team will be playing at home and that's why they should be aggressive and should try to dominate the opposition rather that playing under pressure.

If Indian team can get these things going for them then there is every Chance that they can win the the cup of joy!
