On paper, India has very strong batting line up as
world best openers, consistent middle order and match winner lower middle order.
But still india lost in champions trophy as well as series against australia.
So, do you think India has srong batting line up only on paper?

I think there is nothing wrong with the batting line up.It is just the question of temperament.We need a lot more dedication and commitment to bring consistency in performance and the Indian Team shall be World beaters.The bowling needs a lot more work though, we really lack the wicket taking abilities of a Kumble or a Kapil Dev in our ranks.

i agreed with you man. but are we missing allronder in our team who can bowl very well and also bat at the crucial stage but not like Jadeja.
If a team wan to ben.one team then that team should have atleast one alrounder which is missing by indian team.
Our young players doesn't have temperament, they don'y how to play as per condition.
For example In 5th Match, India only requires 52 runs in 8 overs and 6 wickets were left. And then Raina played a wrong shot.
Finally india lost by very few runs.
Our bowling is not as per our standard, i agree with you

no, it is not like that.
They are really great batsmen - each one has power to chase any run alone.
but there are various reasons that is not allowing them to show housefull.
1 very frequent tournaments - players do not have time for rest
2 no analysis - go as you wish attitude
3 politics
4 Players earn very high from sponsors
5 As BCCI is running in profit, they are no interested in tactical improvement

Ya, You are right. We have best batting line up. But our cricketers have forgotten consistency. They bat in a match well, but other match they didn't. They think they are bigger than cricket. If our team want to be best team, they will have to consistent in their roll. Then we will say our batting line up is the best in the world.

I agree with you that in our team consistency is lacking.
But if a team wants to be the no.1 team then the team members of that team should be consistent in his batting.
