India got serious match winners going to WC: Smith

Seasoned Australia batter Steve Smith says a ‘terrific’ Indian team is packed with some serious match winners going into the T20 World Cup, alluding that Virat Kohli’s side will be one of the favorites to lift the title.

India thumped Australia by eight wickets in a warm-up game with Rohit Sharma (60), K L Rahul (39), and Suryakumar Yadav (38) all getting some runs under their belts.

Kohli did not lead the side but came out to bowl as India was still figuring out their sixth-bowling option.

‘They’re a terrific side, they have got all bases covered and some serious match-winners in there,’ Smith was quoted as saying by ‘Sydney Morning Herald.

‘They’ve been playing in these conditions during the last couple of months with the IPL so they’ll be used to that,’ he added.

Smith himself scored 57 off 48 balls in the game, crossing the 50-run mark for the first time since he struck 86 for NSW against Queensland in March.
