MS Dhoni's
Indian team is the team to beat in the ICC World T20, 2016.
Everything points towards a successful campaign for the side.
Familiarity of home conditions is an added advantage to a side that has been in excellent form in T20Is in the build-up to the premier event. For a team that boasts of the premier T20 league in the world, the side's performances in World T20 hasn't quite mirrored the expectations. They won the inaugural event in
2007 and were the finalists last time around in 2014 but in the three editions in between, they failed to make it to the knockout stages.
This time around, the squad looks a settled one with more all-rounders suited to the conditions. With the momentum behind them, they are the firm favorites to make it to the knockout stages at least.

No other team in the tournament boasts of such success in the format in the build-up to the main event. India beat
Australia 3-0, then dismantled a second-string
Sri Lankan side at home before going on to register five successive wins to clinch the
Asia Cup. What this has done is boost the confidence of the team to a level where they believe that 2016 is theirs.

India have largely stuck to the same combination in T20Is. A large part of the credit for their success recently has been because of a potent pace attack. Ashish Nehra and Jasprit Bumrah were left-field selections, but have proved to be informed ones. Can the duo manage to replicate its success again, and consistently so? Bumrah's unique action proved difficult to gauge for those who faced him for the first time but by now teams would have studied his strengths and weaknesses thoroughly.
The World T20 might be the occasion where his honeymoon period comes to an end and it will be interesting to see if he can step it up. Ashish Nehra has been wrapped in cotton wool right throughout. The pacer goes through his own set of fitness routines separately and has managed to sustain it well so far. Can he push through for another month?

On the other hand,
Brendon McCullum's New Zealand went a long way in shattering their team's 'also-ran' reputation in major
ICC events as they advanced to their first-ever final in the 50-over
World Cup in
2015. However, with McCullum announcing retirement ahead of the World T20 in India,
New Zealand's chances of repeating their enthralling performances have taken a severe beating. It'd be unfair to write off a squad filled with the likes of Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Tim Southee and Trent Boult, but without McCullum's early onslaught, the squad, especially the batting unit, will be left with a lot of work to do. Colin Munro, who has been in great touch, will be key for the
Black Caps.
