Indian captain Virat Kohli today said that Champions Trophy is qualitatively much more competitive than the World Cup.
“ In a World Cup, we have league games and may be dominate during the later half, but in Champions Trophy you need to be on top of your game from game one. If you are not, then your chances go down pretty soon,” Virat told reporters at the pre-departure media conference.
India play their first match against arch rivals Pakistan on June 4 in Birmingham but something that the skipper doesn’t want his team to put too much weightage to the defending champions tag.
“ Dhoni and Yuvi have so much experience and if they are given freedom to play their game in the middle-order, they know the most in the team how to build or win a match or how to get team out of difficult situations,” the skipper said.
“They are our strongest pillars and more they will be in good mindset, it will benefit the team,” he added.
