India, the only undefeated team at the world cup, prepared on Saturday for their much-awaited clash against hosts England at Edgbaston, Birmingham.

Given an India win would keep teams like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka alive in the tournament, the match will be an unusual occasion where fans from across the sub-continent could be rooting for Virat Kohli’s team on Sunday.

Kohli himself preferred to rest on the pre-match day, given it was an optional training for the team.

MS Dhoni and the player designated to take over his spot, Rishab Pant, were seen practicing their batting.
