Eoin Morgan and Virat Kohli have both claimed their opponents are favourites for the T20
World Cup later this year
A Twenty20 series that promises to be more competitive than the Tests begins in Ahmedabad on Friday with the two captains in disagreement. Eoin Morgan says
India are favourites to win the World Cup they host later this year, while Virat Kohli believes this tag belongs to
England.
These conflicting views were essentially just a bit of pre-match pantomime but five games in the giant Narendra Modi stadium – tipped to welcome bumper crowds – will certainly go a long way to helping both sides shape plans, personnel, match-ups and tactics before the main event comes around in October.
