New York: With a couple of days still to go for India’s opening match at the T20 World Cup 2024, former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh made a few predictions. Apart from picking Virat Kohli as the leading run-scorer of the tournament, he also reckoned Rishabh Pant would be the player to watch out for as he is coming back from an injury.
“I am looking forward to the return of Rishabh, he is coming back from a massive injury. And leading run-getter seems like Virat Kohli, he’s had a very good IPL,” said Yuvraj, who was at the opening of Fan Park in New York.
Yuvraj also reckoned that the Indian team have the ingredients to go all the way.
“I just feel that we played the World Cup 2007 final and we’ve been the qualifying semis and I think it’s just a matter of time…I believe we have the self-belief of winning big tournaments. I think if India believes and backs themselves and play to their own strengths, I’m sure they’ll go all the way. And that’s what I believe in,” Yuvraj added.
Yuvraj picked India, the West Indies and Pakistan to fight for the final two spots. “I’m hoping India, probably West Indies. Pakistan 3, and no Australians (laughs),” Yuvraj said.
India will take on Ireland in their T20 World Cup opening match in New York on June 5 before the high-octane clash against arch-rivals Pakistan on June 9. You can follow the LIVE updates of all India matches on india.com for all games.
