"We are going into the World Cup as a balanced and strong side. You saw in the IPL as well. All the players in the squad are in great form and playing really well. I think from that point of view, we just expect ourselves to play the best cricket we can," the Indian captain mentioned.
All the 10 teams will face each different in a round-robin layout. Calling it probably the most difficult World Cup, Kohli mentioned, "It's the most challenging one of all three that I've been part of because of the format.

That's one thing we have in our mind."
