matches at home in the company of friends Sushant Singh Rajput actorI have planned a gettogether for my friends at my place on all match days so that we can cheer for our team together Apart from India South Africa Australia and New Zealand are the clear favourites AB De Villiers would be a delight to watch Great teams raise their playing standards according to the stage and it cant get bigger than this so I am sure we will play really wellSurveen Chawla actress I will be screening all the matches at home on my wall projector screen and invite 25 close friends We are all excited New Zealand is my favourite team apart from India as they are dark horses and are playing really well I think Indias current form will improve as the pressure builds up especially on the day of the IndiaPakistan match I am expecting the team to rise up to the occasion under pressureRaveena Tandon actress India vs Pakistan is the most interesting match in any world tournament and entertainment at its best I have a lot of expectations from Team India in this particular game I will be watching it at home with family I will definitely root for India but Australia is also one of my favourite teams and capable of winning the Cup But I am hoping India defend the World Cup title Three cheers for IndiaGauahar Khan actress I am looking forward to all the matches I am in Ahmedabad for some professional commitments and will be back in the city on March 15 Apart from the IndiaPakistan game I want the Men in Blue to score a victory in each of their matches and win the World Cup again I am really looking forward to Glenn Maxwells performance he is doing some great bowling I am not sure if I will be able to catch any match live from the standsDia Mirza actress My plans are to wake up early catch all the excitement of the pregame coverage whip up an elaborate breakfast put on my India jersey kick back and watch the game Apart from India I think Australia are a formidable team But New Zealand are the dark horses in this tournament and look like they can go all the way There are too many players across different teams who are extremely special and could win games singlehandedly on their day But from Indias point of view Rohit Sharma at the top will be vital along with Virat Kohli at one down and Suresh Raina as a finisher I love the World Cup fever and will watch as many games as I can live on my TV set The team has been away for almost three months and a hectic schedule has clearly taken a bit of a toll But the World Cup is a different scenario altogether Form is always temporary while class is permanent This team has a lot of class so I am keeping my fingers crossedVarun Dhawan actor My film Badlapur is releasing on February 20 so I will be busy with the promotions But no matter wherever I am I will definitely watch the IndiaPakistan tie along with dad filmmaker David Dhawan I hope India finds form soon and the bowlers start swinging the ball Glenn Maxwell is the player to watch out forPulkit Samrat actor I am going to be ready with my waffles and pancakes and have my blue jersey on mdash my donotdisturb mode for the matches Besides India my other favourite team is South Africa AB de Villiers Glenn Maxwell and our captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni are the players to look forward to I feel we have the players who can turn it on at world competitive events Like they say form is temporary class is permanent Lets see if I can squeeze it in between my shoot schedule and watch a live game in AustraliaRahul Bhat actor The IndiaPakistan match is more of a psychological battle we have always beaten them in every World Cup and I believe this time it will be no different Although I will be shooting that day for Aur Devdas I will make sure that I follow the match closely It would be amazing if India wins backtoback World Cups They have a good chance as they would have already played a lot of cricket in that side of the world Apart from India its always been the Australians who are deadly and seem always so ready I will make sure that I follow all the games that India play through the knockout stagesHiten Tejwani actorI have plans to watch the World Cup with friends and family India of course tops my list of favourite teams followed by South Africa Rohit Sharma and Dale Steyn are definitely players to reckon with in the tournament As far as Indias form is concerned I feel the team will get better as the tournament progressesInputs from Gaurav Dubey
