Virender Sehwag adopts a more defensive stance and drops short of calling India favourites.
"It is superstitious, perhaps, but the team billed as the strongest inevitably fails to do well,” he said recalling instances from past World Cups in 2003 and 1996 when South Africa and India were picked to win but failed to.Sehwag, however, doesn't fail to remind fans that cricket, after all, is just sport. “Winning and losing is part of a sport. It should be taken in the same spirit. Burning a players’ effigy, like in the 2003 World Cup, does not help his performance. Encouraging them when they are down lifts the team.”
