Former Sri Lanka skipper Kumar Sangakkara yesterday said defending champions India were capable of retaining the Champions Trophy title as they were a better balanced unit with "real firepower in their fast bowling". "This year we have four Asian teams in the tournament and clearly India is current the pack-leaders in the region. It won in 2013 and it has a team capable of winning this year too," Sangakkara wrote in his column for ICC.

"The team is stronger and balanced with real firepower in its fast bowling. Its spinners R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are exceptional in ODI cricket. I am sure Virat Kohli is going to be desperate to bounce back after a disappointing Indian Premier League season," he added.
