Kapil Dev predicted, this team can win the 2023 World Cup

 

Only a few days are left for the ODI World Cup to start in India (5 October). In such a situation, India is considered a strong contender to win the tournament. Many former cricketers and experts have also called India a strong contender to win the tournament. The Indian team further strengthened its claim by winning the Asia Cup. Whereas former captain Kapil Dev believes that India is ready to win the ODI World Cup on home soil but he does not want to put the tag of favorites on the host team because a lot will depend on luck.

Kapil Dev said, "I think if we can get into the top four, that's more important and it will be about luck and everything else. We can't say right now that we are favourites, obviously. Our team is very good. Heart says one thing, mind says something else, no we have to work very hard. I know our team, I don't know about other teams, so I would say that to give a blank answer for me Wrong. As far as the Indian team is concerned, they are ready to play and win the championship. They should play with full enthusiasm, enjoy."

Recently, in the Asia Cup final, India had all out Sri Lanka for 50 runs with the help of fast bowler Mohammad Siraj's 6 wickets. Siraj had spent only 21 runs and 4 out of 6 wickets had come in a single over. After this, the team chased the target and won the match by scoring 51 runs in 6.1 overs without losing any wicket. Praising Siraj's brilliant bowling, he said that it is amazing (to see Siraj bowling). I am very happy that these days our fast bowlers in all continents are taking all 10 wickets, it is icing on the cake. There was a time when we depended on spinners, now it is not so and that is why the strength of the team has become so good."
