Nasser Hussain, a former England captain, thinks India is one of the favourites to win the 2018 ODI World Cup, but he is unable to put his thoughts on writing. The 55-year-old said that there are few other teams who can compete with India on their home pitch and may even be able to defeat them to claim the championship.
In his analysis of the team, Hussain noted that India’s Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are two of the greatest white-ball batsmen in history. The bowling team will gain a lot of confidence as a result of Bumrah’s return. He did emphasise the areas where the squad needs to work on improving. The former cricketer brought to my attention that there are plenty Indian bowlers who cannot bat, and vice versa.
Because there are so many high-caliber teams, they are favourites but not by a wide margin. They have two of the best white ball batsmen in the history of the sport in Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, if you look at their team. Shubman Gill offers them a bright future, and the return of Bumrah is wonderful news. Therefore, if you examine their bowling and batting, they rank among the best teams.
“If you look at the batters, they don’t bowl, and the bowlers don’t bat, which is one area where they lack. With all the all-rounders, the team is different from England and Australia, Nasset stated in an interview with Sky Sports.
India needs to play better cricket and with more bravery: Nasser Hussain
Hussain made it quite obvious that India’s cautious attitude has made it difficult for them to get going in the knockout matches. He added that in order to win the ODI World Cup, which will get underway on October 5, the Rohit Sharma-led team must play brave cricket.
“You might say that Indian players are constantly under pressure. But since the 2011 World Cup, the knockout rounds are where they have fallen short. They must do better than expected and play brave cricket. They should play brave cricket in the semifinals, Hussain said, as I believe they will go to the elimination stage.
