Team India unhappy with ICC's security regulations

It is no secret that wherever Team India goes, the fans follow. While there is no denying the fact that the support of the fans goes a long way in motivating the players when they set foot on the field, it is also true that over-excited fans can sometimes cross the line and make things difficult for the players, especially when the cricketers are looking to be away from the hullabaloo and focus on the job in hand. But the security regulations of the International Cricket Council (ICC) has made it tough for the Indian team. source https://zeenews.india.com/cricket/team-india-unhappy-with-iccs-security-regulations-2215758.html

ICC World Cup 2019:Virat Kohli sees tournament pressure reason behind England's struggle

 Like most, England‘s sudden change in fortunes has left Virat Kohli surprised as well. The hosts began the tournament as co-favorites alongside India and until two weeks ago, seemed to be doing justice to the tag. But two losses in the last two games – one of those being a shock defeat to Sri Lanka – and from World Cup favorites, England have relegated to be termed World Cup hopefuls.  source https://zeenews.india.com/cricket/icc-world-cup-2019virat-kohli-sees-tournament-pressure-reason-behind-englands-struggle-2215568.html

ICC World Cup 2019: India's middle order not a worry for Virat Kohli

 Despite clamours for Rishabh Pant‘s inclusion in India‘s Playing XI, captain Virat Kohli seems to be persisting with the allrounder Vijay Shankar. Batting at No. 4 in the previous two matches, Shankar scored 29 and 14 against Afghanistan and West Indies on relatively sluggish surfaces, scores which is far from what India are looking for from their No. 4, especially not if he is someone who India are grooming to be their No. 4 for at least another year. source https://zeenews.india.com/cricket/icc-world-cup-2019-indias-middle-order-not-a-worry-for-virat-kohli-2215560.html
