‘India can be successful in World Cup too’
Akash Chopra commented on the World Cup while speaking on his YouTube channel. He said, “The Indian team does not need pitches that favor spin and fast bowling in the World Cup. Indian team can only succeed on a flat pitch. According to me, in the World Cup we will need flat pitches like roads. Because, you don’t want spin and fast pitches. When the ball swung, we faced difficulties. Chasing the challenge of 188 runs, we lost 5 wickets. After that, the team was all out for 117 runs.
