When chasing, Kohli has scored 47% of all India's runs this World Cup.

That way , he has NO run chase to craft

West Indies have a slight advantage in that they have already played one match in Mumbai (against England) and so will have a feel for the pitch. One thing that I think we can expect is plenty of runs. This has been the best batting pitch the entire tournament.

while WI have played one match in Mumbai, i suspect the Indian players are little bit more familiar with that pitch! ::LOL::
Re: VOTE : Will Sammy and squad - ketchim - 03-29-2016
Not really Googs : Only the IPL squad from Mumbai :
Pollard absent and Simmons just arrive : Bravo and Gayle played a lot here as well.
only Rohit ,HarDik and Bumrah from their squad

India have played just 1 international match at Mumbai in the last 2 years - the ODI against South Africa where they were obliterated.
As far as the IPL goes, last year, Rohit Sharma played 8 matches here for Mumbai. All other Indian players played here just once, except for Dhoni, Nehra, Jadeja and Ashwin who played here twice. Those matches took place a year ago. A long time ago.
West Indies have the most recent experience with the way this pitch has been prepared. I think that counts as an advantage.
Re: VOTE : Will Sammy and squad - ketchim - 03-29-2016
and Ashwin had a lousy last Game: Kohli bailed dem out .

Gayle vs Ashwin duel being touted !
West Indies would hope Simmons comes good and utilises his IPL experience -
where he opens for Mumbai Indians - in a positive way
Re: VOTE : Will Sammy and squad - Captain - 03-29-2016
200 to chase
