India had a dream warm-up match before World Cup as MS Dhoni and KL Rahul smashed a ton to register a resounding victory over Bangladesh. The century by KL Rahul answered numerous questions, settling the debate for India's number 4 as the entire cricket fraternity reacted showered praise on them.

Age is just a number!

More than a few people wondered if Dhoni could drag himself till this World Cup. Just as well he did. He is looking seriously good, better than he was twelve months ago.

End of debate!

Rahul’s form....or perhaps, the lack of runs from the openers in both the warm-up matches will seal the deal for him at Number 4. #CWC19

Dhoni is back!

Rahul showing his class , looked so much at ease in a fine century. And Dhoni showing what he is made of, smashing hundred. The middle order in form at the right time for India. #BANvIND

It was a perfect knock by KL Rahul!

KL Rahul is definitely not my favourite player for that position but he has showed the hunger desire and willingness to fight which is a great sign for Team India #INDvBAN
