Indian players play a lot in the IPL and the format suits the Pakistani players, he reasoned
Australian spin legend Shane Warne has tipped India and Pakistan as the favourites to win the third-edition of the Twenty20 World Cup starting in West Indies on Friday.
"India because their players play so much in the IPL. And Pakistan because the format suits them. But Australia is playing more of it and understanding the game a lot better," Warne said when asked which team would be his favourite.
"MS Dhoni is a very good captain but Virender Sehwag is a massive loss with his shoulder problem. Shahid Afridi is a good captain and a very good cricketer but can be hit and miss. They will be in the mix," Warne told 'Herald Sun'.
Dhoni also figured in Warne's list of best five Twenty20 cricketers, which also had Shane Watson, Kevin Pietersen, Lasith Malinga, Kieron Pollard and a fit Sehwag.
