NEW DELHI: Staying true to his batting style, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag minced no worlds in saying that Team India is favourites to win their ODI World Cup blockbuster clash against Pakistan on October 15 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad only for the reason that the host nation's players can handle pressure much better than their neighboring country.
"I feel that now India handles the pressure that is why they win whereas Pakistan have a burden that they haven't won against India. In the 1990s, they were good at dealing with pressure but after 2000, India soaked it better,” Sehwag said during the launch event of the World Cup schedule in Mumbai on Tuesday.
