New Delhi, Mar 7:
Cricketing greats such as Kapil Dev, Sourav Ganguly, Wasim Akram and Inzamam ul Haq today picked India as the overwhelming favourites to win the World T20 title at home.
“Final is far away but India have a very good chance with the way they have played of late (including Asia Cup). Things were looking a lot different not so long ago (when the team lost to Bangladesh and South Africa in ODIs). What they have done in the last 8-9 matches, if they show the same intensity India have a very good chance. India are going into the tournament in very good form,” said Ganguly at the Aaj Tak’s Salaam Cricket conclave here today.
Wasim Akram, sharing the dais with Ganguly, Kapil, Inzamam and Mohammad Azharuddin, too backed the hosts to win the title for the second time.
“India are the favourites and the other top contenders will be South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Pakistan will be unpredictable as usual. It is a new tournament and new game for Pakistan. They should forget what happened in Asia Cup and enjoy the tournament,” said Akram.(PTI)
