The T20 World Cup 2024 is still a fair distance away, and which team will lift the coveted trophy, is a matter of debate among the experts as well. Yuvraj Singh and Gautam Gambhir, who were part of the 2007 T20 World Cup winning team, spoke about the chances of different teams in the tournament.
Answering, “Biggest threat to India In T20 World Cup?”, Yuvraj Singh and Gautam Gambhir came up with interesting replies.
“Afghanistan, in those conditions can be very very dangerous. Australia, because they have got impact players, and England because they play T20 cricket the way it should be played,” Gautam Gambhir said in a video by Thumbup Official.
“I have different angle. I think South Africa should win. They have not won a white-ball tournament. The way I saw their progress in the 50-over World Cup and obviously Pakistan who are very dangerous,” Yuvraj Singh said.
But somehow, Gambhir did not agree with Yuvraj, when he said Pakistan. “See Pakistan, their fielding is, I saw in the 50-over World Cup, probably the worst in international cricket. They will have to literally pull their socks up if they really want to compete in the T20 format,” Gautam Gambhir added.
“The amount of finals that India have reached…I don’t think Pakistan have reached anywhere close to the amount of finals that India have reached in the last five or six years. And you are just one step away from the trophy. hopefully in the T20 World Cup could be one.”
