Favourites to win
Morgan further elaborated on why he considers India the favourites tꦓo win the tournament. He acknowledged that if India play to their full potential, leveraging the depth and skill evident on paper, they are capable of defeating any opponent decisively throughout the tournament.
“They are favourites for me. I think that they’re just the quality that they have on paper. If they produce it, I think they can, they can beat anybody quite well in the tournament,” he added.
Notably, in the 2022 T20 World Cup, India had an impressive run but faced a crushing defeat by England in the semi-finals. This year, they aim to surpass their previous performance and clinch their second T20 World Cup trophy, having last won the inaugural edition in 2007 under MS Dhoni’s captaincy.
