Melbourne: Former Australian captain Ian Chappell feels rookie pacer Mohit Sharma has been a revelation in the ongoing World Cup as he has made a huge difference to the Indian attack, bringing about a turnaround in the side’s fortunes after a string of poor shows in the run-up to the showpiece event.
Chappell said India can be counted as one of the favourites to win the World Cup if they continue the form they showed while beating Pakistan and South Africa whom they thrashed by 130 runs here today.
“Indian bowling has been a huge difference in the World Cup as compared to Test series against Australia and the tri-series. Mohit has played a big part in this transformation, he has been a revelation and suddenly he has made a big difference in Indian bowling,” Chappell said. “Indian bowling was not consistent against Australia. They will bowl well and then they will have bad deliveries. They have now cut down on those bad deliveries.” (PTI)
