Bhubaneswar: ICC ODI World Cup 2023 is just around the corner and fans across the globe are waiting to watch their favourite teams and players to be in action soon.
As per former India great Sunil Gavaskar, England are the favourites to win the upcoming World Cup starting from October 5.
The Little Master fells that the Jos Buttler-led side has got a terrific bowling line-up and also consists of three ‘world-class all-rounders’ who can change the game.
“The defending champions England are definitely favourites to lift the coveted trophy because of the kind of talent that they have at the top of the order. They have got two or three world-class all-rounders who can change the game with both bat and ball. They have also got a very good bowling line-up, an experienced bowling line-up, so at the moment they are in my book,” said Gavaskar during an interview.
Meanwhile, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan backed Team India to win the title. As per Irfan, the hosts are ‘ticking all the boxes’ and are one of the favorites to lift the coveted ICC trophy.
“I am very excited to see how India performs and I really think they are one of the favorites, for sure because especially last couple of series, like Asia Cup, and the way India played against Australia as well in the home conditions. I think they are ticking all the boxes,” said Irfan during an interview.
