A few days after Rahul Dravid stated that India are definite favourites for the 2019 World Cup, his former teammate Sachin Tendulkar picked his top contenders for the tournament.

Calling India as one of the favourites, Tendulkar told PTI that England and New Zealand can also turn out to be tough contenders.

“I have gone on record saying that we have a perfect balance in the team where we will be competitive in any part of the world or on any surface. As far as our chances are concerned, I will not hesitate in saying that we are the favourites,”

“It’s all about getting the early momentum. My judgement on the toughest contenders would be England, while New Zealand would be the dark horse,” he added.
