Indian big-hitting opener Virender Sehwag believes that Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men have peaked at the right moment and possess the capability to defend their World Cup title.
Reigning champions India thrashed title favorite South Africa by 130 runs on Sunday at Melbourne before defeating arch-rivals Pakistan by 76 runs in their World Cup opener last week.
Reflecting on India's back-to-back victory, the veteran batsman said that he was sure that they were going to be in the final, adding that they were reigning champions, so hopefully they could defend their role, Gulf News reported.
The 2011 World Cup winner further said that they were doing really well as a group, and hopefully they were capable of doing more good work.
