Sunday brought in great news for the Indian cricket team. The Rohit Sharma-led side put up clinical show to win the Asia Cup 2023 final against Sri Lanka in Colombo by 10 wickets.

"Not Hot Favourites": Former Cricketer Atul Wassan On India's World Cup Chances

While India reigned supreme at the Premadasa on Sunday, humbling defending champions Sri Lanka by 10 wickets to lift their 8th Asia Cup, former international cricketer Atul Wassan said the 'Men in Blue' are not the "hot favourites" going into the ODI World Cup next month. The 50-over showpiece, to be hosted in India this year, will get underway in less than a couple of weeks from now. Weighing in on India's chances to claim their third world crown after 2013 when a certain MS Dhoni led his boys to glory, Wassan said he believed that much of the team's prospects in the tournament would depend on the nature of the surfaces they play on and whether they build on their success in the Asia Cup.

However, the captain anticipates that Axar Patel will be absent for the first two ODIs against Australia later this month. Iyer was featured in just one game of the Asia Cup -against Pakistan- and then missed out after suffering back spasms. Even though Iyer was injured for a large portion of the Asia Cup, he has accomplished most of the goals the team management had set for him as he recovered and tried to demonstrate his match fitness for the World Cup, which is now less than three weeks away.
