Kris Srikkanth, who was on the Indian team that won the World Cup in 1983, recently said who he thinks will win this year’s tournament. The 2019 ODI World Cup final was the most nerve-wracking one fans have ever seen. Hosts After the Super Over, the two teams were tied, so the score was decided by how many boundaries each team had. On October 5, the finalists from the last ODI World Cup will play each other in Ahmedabad to start the 2023 tournament.
Cricket fans are getting more and more excited as they wait for the big event to start 99 days from now. He chose India as the host team, Australia as the five-time winner, and England as the current champion. The former India starter spoke highly of the Australian team and how well they had played in India in the past.
“India is one of the most popular teams. Let’s be honest: Australia is also a very good team, and England has also played very well. I think that Aussies can also play well in India. Srikkanth told India Today that he thought one of India, Australia, or England would probably win the cup.
Kris Srikkanth, who was one of the most aggressive openers of his time, praised England for being positive about the game no matter what shape it was in.
“They started hitting the bowling right from the start, whether it was a Test match, a Twenty20 match, or a one-day match. Since they lost the 2015 World Cup, they have changed the way they do things. We saw it at the 2019 World Cup, and you can see it now with the Ashes Test series. Even at Edgbaston, the game was close, but England lost.
I would say that Australia is more likely to win than England when it comes to playing in India: Kris Srikkanth
The 63-year-old picked Australia over England as the team most likely to win the World Cup. Srikkanth said that many Australian players play in the Indian Premier League (IPL), so they are more used to the conditions in India.
“I would say that Australia is more likely to win than England when it comes to playing in India. A lot of these Australians play T20s in India, in the IPL, so they are used to the conditions there. But yes, there are a lot of English players playing in India and getting used to the conditions there. So, I say, “One of these three countries (India, England, or Australia)…” Kris Srikkanth added.
