Cricket World Cup 2023: 5 Teams that can win tournament title

1. India

India will be hosting the World Cup tournament as the sole host for the first time. Last the World Cup tournament played in India was in 2011 and the hosts won the tournament. Under Rohit Sharma, India will be looking to end their ICC trophy drought. They will enter the tournament with some good form behind them from the Asia Cup. 

With the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill, and Hardik Pandya, the Men in Blue are looking good in the batting department. Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav will be the stars of the spin department and one of R Ashwin or Axar Patel will join them. 

But one space where India is spoilt for choices is the fast-bowing department. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Mohammed Shami are the first-choice picks with Prasidh Krishna waiting in the wings.

And add to that the huge advantage of playing at home with the knowledge of pitches and grounds, India will definitely be favourites to win the tournament. They will also be cheered by thousands of supporters wherever they play in the country, as their 9 group stage matches will be all played across 9 different venues.
