Legend of New Zealand Says Rohit Sharma's Men Favourites to Win the World Cup
Team India has made a strong start to their campaign in order to win the third ODI World Cup, as they have won all four matches that they have played until now. They started the tournament by beating five-time champion Australia before brushing aside Afghanistan.
India then squared off with Pakistan, ended up winning the one-sided contest, and then made it four out of four by outclassing Bangladesh.
India last won the ODI World Cup in 2011, when they were the hosts, and former New Zealand cricketer Ross Taylor reckons that playing at home makes the Rohit Sharma-led side favorites to win the title.
Taylor wrote, “India in their home conditions are a different beast, and they have started unsurprisingly strongly; I see them as favorites to win the competition at this stage.”
So far, India has clicked as a unit, with players performing across departments.
He further wrote, “Jasprit Bumrah has led the attack brilliantly, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Jadeja are bowling really nicely, and their top three batters have been fantastic for a long time.”
