First 3 games are tough. Have to start well or would be in a position where we would have to win 5-6 games in a row

Most teams would do well if their key players click. We have to ensure that the fringe players are optimized as well

After watching greybeard struggle in the Aus heat, I don't think he can keep in all these games.  At some point before the world cup, its critical to get the 2nd keeper some game time behind the stumps.

He did not sit out or given the gloves to someone even for a single game in the last 2 years when he was in the squad.

 

Not in ODI. Not even in T20.

My concern is that his age and back won't.

Yup. Astonishing levels of selfishness

[Tendulkar1996]

Need to win 2 out of first 3.

I hope we don't play Chahal and Kuldeep every game till WC. God forbids, if any one of them gets injured, with our middle order, we will be in big trouble come the knockout stage.

Man, the first 3 games are quite difficult. I don't think any other team has this kind of a solid opponent lineup. Who does this sort of scheduling, man?

[SRT100]

The first three games are not difficult. India needs to get into the mentality that it is difficult those three teams face India early on.

We're okay against south Africa. But it's the next two that worries me a lot. 

Ideally, India should lose one those games against Oz/Nz to keep our feet grounded. Also have a  feeling that we would lose a game against inferior sides. May be Padosis (East or West) will spring a suprise .
