After former England captain Michael Vaughan tweeted that that the hosts would be the team to beat in the ODI World Cup, Salman Butt also echoed the same. According to former Pakistan captain, “India are the only one in world cricket to have this ultimate rise. Everyone is talking about four teams to watch out for in the upcoming World Cup. However, what I believe is that the team that beats India will win the World Cup.”
He further explained on his YouTube channel, “India are the best team. Their batting is complete, and their bowling is most suitable to these conditions. Unless they themselves make mistakes, it is unlikely that any team will be even near them.”

Butt then went on to praise India’s emphasis on players’ fitness and uplifting the fielding standards. He noted that India over the last few years have worked to improve the overall cricket environment in the country. “India have improved significantly over the past few years. The fitness levels of these players are far better than what we say 15 years back. Similarly, the fielding standards have also improved. From infrastructure to commentators to experts to their kit, everything related to cricket in India is top-notch.”
