The ICC T20 World Cup is schedule to be played in Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from October. In such a situation, discussions have started about which team is the strong contender for the title. All the veterans of the cricket world are sharing their views regarding this. In this series, former South African cricketer Herschelle Gibbs has named England, Pakistan and India as the top contenders for the T20 World Cup. He also praised Virat Kohli, Babar Azam and Jos Buttler and said that these players have the ability to perform in any conditions.
Former Proteas batsman Herschelle Gibbs said that India, England and Pakistan are the teams which are likely to win the World Cup title. He described India and England as a strong team, while he described Pakistan as an unpredictable team.
Meanwhile, Gibbs also explained why he didn't pick West Indies, which are considered to be the T20 specialist team. The 47-year-old former player believes that the pitches in the UAE will be spin friendly, and the Windies batsmen will struggle against spin as they prefer to play on wickets where the ball does not turn.
Interestingly, the three teams that Gibbs has selected, have all won the T20 World Cup. India won the trophy in 2007 under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Then this tournament was organized for the first time. Similarly, Pakistan won the tournament in 2009, while England won the title in 2010 under the leadership of Paul Collingwood.
