'They are going to go on a trophy-winning spree': Michael Vaughan's BIG prediction for one of the T20 WC finalists

Team India has been like a diesel locomotive who has tore down all of their opponents. Despite having some hiccups with the bat in the form of Shivam Dube and Virat Kohli, the rest has been solid. Be it the bowling, batting or the fielding. Everything has been A+ for the Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue. 

Even though the Champions Trophy will be held next year, there is a big possibility that this could be the last of Rohit Sharma leading in an ICC event. he has been doing it for ages, and it's about a matter of time that he steps down as the skipper. He may have some years in the sack as a player, but expect a big shake-up in the captaincy position.

Virat Kohli, who hasn't made an impression in the competition, will continue to be the subject of a lot of talk. He hasn't made much of an impression despite a string of poor performances. Several analysts and his teammates think the star Indian batsman is keeping his best for last, despite his dismal performance.
