The World Cup 2019 will be played in the round-robin format. This implies that the team plays each of the other teams during the league stage and the top four would advance to the knockouts.
Skipper Kohli said that the 2019 World Cup will be the most challenging because of the format and the team has to adapt to it. He hailed India's spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal by terming them the pillars of India's bowling department.
