NOIDA: Former skipper
Sourav Ganguly described India as favourites to lift the
World Cup, saying the team is in best possible shape to win the quadrennial event which gets underway at England on May 30.
"India are favourites, they have played good
cricket for the last 6-7 months, they are very prepared for the World Cup," Ganguly said on the sidelines of an event.
"This is the best possible team, all of them have performed and that's why they are in the squad," he added.
India will begin its campaign at the World Cup with a clash against
South Africa on June 5 at Southampton.
