India favourites for 2019 ICC World Cup: Ganguly

TIL Desk Sports/ Former skipper Sourav Ganguly believes India will go to any World Cup as favourites, whether they win or not, thanks to their consistency and quality.

The cricketing great said that India was one of the title contenders in the 2003, 2007 editions of the World Cups and went on to lift the trophy in 2011.

Speaking at the launch of his autobiography- ‘A Century is Not Enough’ at a city hotel, Ganguly said,”I don’t believe in the word ‘best’ as different teams play well under different situations but we have a side which is very strong.

“We went to 2003 and 2007 World Cups as favourites, in 2011 we won and even now. It’s all because of the culture of Indian cricket and the quality which comes out every time which makes Indian cricket special,” the former skipper added.

While in the 2003 World Cup, India finished runner-up to Australia, in the next edition, they suffered an annihilating group stage exit in the Caribbean.
