Here comes the latest predictor of the ICC World Cup 2019 winner. It is Afghanistan’s superstar Rashid Khan, who believes that the Indian National Cricket Team is best equipped to win the tournament. Meanwhile, he asks his teammates to contribute on the field while locking horns with India.
Afghanistan has not played well in the tournament and did not win any match. According to Rashid Khan, they have not played against a higher ranked team in the last four years and did not have the experience of big matches.
Further, the spinner Rashid Khan on Thursday said that his team will learn from their mistakes and try to play as per their potential against India. Rashid and his mates will have to ensure they do not repeat their mistakes nor make new ones against a side which is in total control of its fortunes.
Main focus is on our fielding – Rashid Khan
Rashid Khan before showering words of praise on the Indian team quoted that the Afghanistan team will put their everything into the game when they lock horns against India. He believes that the team would do something magical.
“We have played against India in the Asia Cup, it will be a tough game. With the kind of batting and bowling they have, they are one of the top teams in the tournament. But we will try not to repeat the same mistakes. Our main focus will be to field well. We will try to play positively. Whatever talent we have we will try to showcase it on the ground against India,” Rashid Khan told India Today.
India can win the cup:
The leg-spinner didn’t take a second to label India as the favourites to win the glorious cup. Rashid Khan feels that the Indian team got the best batting, bowling and Fielding departments, which would fetch them a cup.
“There is no doubt India can win the world cup. The combination they have, the bowling lineup and the fielders they have. In this World Cup, the teams which are fielding well are winning matches. India have the skills in the fielding. They have better batsmen than bowlers, one of the best teams here. They can win there is no doubt,” he further added.
Well, it would be interesting to see how things would pan out when India and Afghanistan lock horns. Most probably, Rashid Khan will be the cynosure of the eyes for obvious reasons.
