The young Indian chinaman, Kuldeep Yadav has picked Pakistan and England as the other two teams to watch out for in the World Cup in England. Apart from Men in Blue, former cricketers have labeled England as the favorites for the coveted title but Kuldeep thinks Pakistan can become a threat to a lot of countries.

During a recent chat with India Today, Yadav said, “We definitely have the chance to bring the World Cup home. Apart from us, I think all the other teams are really strong. But I feel England has a strong batting lineup as compared to the other teams. They will be playing in home conditions. I think Pakistan will also perform well in the World Cup looking at the way they have been performing. So I think England and Pakistan will be the ones to watch out for.”

According to him, Indian bowlers have performed well in overseas conditions because of improved fitness levels.

Kuldeep further added, “We have good fast bowlers in our team who did very well in Australia and before that in England as well. We have a very good combination of bowlers in the side now. We train together and back each other which is the biggest plus point.”

Playing in their last ODI series before the World Cup 2019, the men in blue recently suffered a shocking loss to Australia at home. Looking at their recent ODI performances, however, cricket pundits still believe Team India will be hot favorites in the tournament.

The men in blue will be starting their campaign against South Africa at the Rose Bowl in Southampton on June 5. The Indian 15-member squad for the mega event will be announced next month.
