In a shock prediction, former Indian opening batter Robin Uthappa, who was part of the MS Dhoni-led side that won the title in 2007, has left India out of his list of four teams that will qualify for the semifinals of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia. He feels that, like in 2021, India will once again make an exit from the group stage and the wait to win the second T20 World Cup title will go on for two more years
Speaking on ESPNCricinfo, the 36-year-old right-handed batter, who announced his retirement from all forms of cricket last month, has backed Pakistan and South Africa to make it to the last four from Group 2 of the Super 12 stage.
“I want to start off with a disclaimer. I do not think Indian fans would be too happy. But my semi-finalists would be Australia, England, Pakistan, and South Africa,” said Uthappa. (TOI)
