India cricket legend Rahul Dravid Saturday said star batsman Virat Kohli will need to be at his best during the ICC World Cup as the Indian team was heavily reliant on its One-Day International (ODI) vice captain. “If you look at the Indian batting lineup, they are in a sense heavily reliant on someone like Virat Kohli to get India through those middle overs which allows the likes of Raina and Dhoni to come at the back end and finish off games,” Dravid was quoted . He further added Kohli needs to bat well and set the tempo if India are to have a chance of retaining the World Cup. “He will need to bat well. He'll need to set the tempo for the side.” Dravid was, however, concerned about the death bowling of the team terming it "inconsistent". Legend Player Vivian Richards said Kohli is good enough to bat at any position and win matches for his team. "As the best batsman of the side, you want him to play more overs. But he also has to be comfortable doing the job for you. I am sure this is something the team management ought to have discussed among themselves."
