Kumar Sangakkara and Eoin Morgan
Former cricketers Kumar Sangakkara and Eoin Morgan picked Team India as the hot favorite to win the ICC World Cup at home.
Talking to Sky Sports, both the ex-cricketers said India is at their best with their perfect combination of players. It's going to be very tough to beat India in home conditions. "I think England and India are going to be top favourites, I saw Sri Lanka play the last game and how they played throughout the Asia Cup, so they could be challenging for a playoff position, once you're in the playoffs, you're a game away. You have a good day, you could be in the final," said Sangakkara.

England's 2019 World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan highlighted the presence of all-rounders like Hardik Pandya. "Having Hardik Pandya fit and being able to bowl five and six overs of the quality bowling really does in my eyes make them probably my favourite," he concluded.
