ICC Champions Trophy 2013: India's performances make them overwhelming favourites

Indian cricket was in a siege when Mahendra Singh Dhoni arrived in England. The team built a protective wall around itself to insulate itself from the negativity arising out of the spot-fixing and betting issues in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Suresh Raina was touted as the next big thing in Indian cricket by Greg Chappell, and showed glimpses of that promise on sub-continental pitches. However, his average of 33.9 in 2010, including two ducks, is not flattering. Not everyone can be as blessed as Virender Sehwag to get away with unrestrained strokeplay.
