New Delhi: Countdown to the Cricket World Cup (World Cup 2019) in England has started. India and other teams have almost finalized their teams for this tournament. Indian fans hope that Team India will win this World Cup. Team India has done a great job as recently as Australia and New Zealand tour, it is highly appreciated by the cricket world veterans. But former captain Sunil Gavaskar does not consider the Indian team as the biggest contender for winning the World Cup. They consider any other team as the strongest contender. The World Cup has to be played from May 30.
Sunil Gavaskar told 'INDIA TODAY', "There is strong contender England in the World Cup. That's not because it will be the domestic World Cup for England. That would be because he changed his view about ODI cricket. England's team lost to the 2015 World Cup in Bangladesh in the league phase. He changed his game since then, like he chose his team, he is capable. This has strengthened England's team. "
Sunil Gavaskar said that England have a good opening pair. He has a strong middle-order. Apart from this, he also has a good all-rounder. When you play at your home, you also have a strong backing. Apart from this, he has two world-class wicketkeepers as Jose Butler and Johnny Bairstow. That's why this team looks balanced.
Sunil Gavaskar feels that Team India can always benefit from playing for two years in England. He said, "It is beneficial for India that it has played for two consecutive years in 2017 and 2018 in England. Our players who are part of the World Cup team will be aware of the conditions there. They have the experience of playing there. India can use this experience to name the World Cup title. But I think the strongest contender is England and then India. "India had played in the 2017 Champions Trophy in England. After that, he played the entire series (T20, ODI, Test) in 2018.
