“India are obviously hot favourites as they are playing in India. Whichever team plays against India, they need to give their 110 per cent. India are a dangerous side in their own conditions. Winning in India is not an easy job”.

“When you go to Australia, every team struggles. Likewise, every team struggles when they visit India. Rohit Sharma’s India will be a hot favourite to win the World Cup”, Mohammad Amir further said.
