This has no basis in fact. But I think it comforts you to say

The host of the world cup is aiming at 15 runs per over for 20. We are not even aiming at 15 per over for the power play. Years behind in the think tank.

India:
India today were 54/2 after the PP today and ended up with 271. India were 75/2 after 6 when they chased down 215.
Again it is CRUCIAL to keep wickets in hand 60-70/1 or 2 is a good PP score. Where WI have faltered is in the middle overs, hence why it is so crucial to have one of your top 3 bat through and accelerate the pace in the middle.
You are getting carried away with the PP. Again 60-70 with max of 2 wickets is ideal to capitalise on. Anything else is bonus.

we get bogged down in the middle overs that is why we have to score 90 in the first 6

The reason why we get bogged down is either we have lost too many wickets in the pp.
Again the idea is to have your best batsman bat most of the overs and to do this we have to leave the PP with one or two of those batsmen and with minimal loss of wickets.
60-70/1 or 2 should be the target. I already showed you that India's PP scores were similar, although you clearly provided erroneous info about their PP scores. 90 in a PP suggests a combination of high -risk taking and poor bowling/fielding.
