Former chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar called Rohit Sharma & Co the world’s best team and favourites to win the T20 World Cup starting in USA and West Indies on June 1. Vengsarkar, who was one of the chief guests at the Sports Journalists’ Association of Mumbai (SJAM) Distinguished Service Awards function at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday, said: “India start as favourites. The current Indian team are among the best in the world. If they [selectors] had to keep players like [Shubman] Gill, [KL] Rahul and Rinku Singh out, I’m sure this is a very strong side. It’s a fantastic team,” Vengsarkar said.

‘Play to potential and win’
