Would be disappointed if India don’t win World Cup: Azhar

MUMBAI: Former captain Mohammed Azharuddin Tuesday described India’s World Cup squad a balanced one and said any result less than the coveted trophy would be seen as a disappointment for the two-time champions.

The World Cup gets underway in the United Kingdom from May 30. India won the big prize in 1983 and 2011.

“India have a very good chance (in the World Cup) because we have got a very balanced side. We have got good bowlers, good batsmen and then our fielding is very good (and has) improved a lot over a period of time,” Azharuddin told reporters here.

The veteran of 99 Tests was speaking in suburban Bandra after inaugurating a salon. India begin their World Cup campaign on June 5 against South Africa at Southampton.

“I would be disappointed if India doesn’t win the World Cup and I’m hoping that we will bring the Cup,” he said. (AGENCIES)
