T20 World Cup: India Enters as Favorites, Can They Break Historical Jinx?

  • India, the No. 1 ranked T20I team, is entering the World Cup as strong favorites due to their current form and aggressive playing style.
  • Despite historical trends of no team winning a third title, defending on home soil, or successfully defending a title, India's recent performance suggests they could defy these odds.
  • Since the last World Cup, India has won 31 out of 41 matches and triumphed in their last eight bilateral series, including an Asia Cup title.
  • The team boasts significant batting firepower and all-round bowling depth, making them formidable even at 90% potential.
  • Under Suryakumar Yadav and coach Gautam Gambhir, India has adopted a fearless, aggressive approach, with key players like Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Arshdeep Singh emerging.
