India play New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Chennai, in the first semi-final of the cricket World Cup.

On paper, this semi-final is a mismatch. You have the Indian Invincibles, an all-conquering XI that won all nine of their group stage games.

On the other hand, you have a New Zealand team that has stumbled their way to the semi-final, winning just one of their last five matches after starting the competition with four wins in a row.

However, whilst the Black Cap’s current form leaves much to be desired, their arsenal of batting talent means that India will be wary of falling to an upset, with the likes of Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson and Glenn Phillips capable of taking down any bowling attack on their day.

Rohit Sharma’s Indian side, meanwhile, will be brimming with confidence. Their group stage dominance was borderline comical and in their final match against the Netherlands they were even able to bowl four part-timers, just to give their premier bowlers a rest.

They’ve been scintillating to watch in this World Cup so far, and the semi-final promises to be no different.

Big time games need big time players. And there is no figure in world cricket larger than Virat Kohli.

In search of a 50th ODI century, an achievement that will break the all-time great Sachin Tendulkar’s record for most ODI centuries, the atmosphere in Chennai will be electric if he manages the feat against New Zealand on Wednesday.
