Spin great Erapalli Prasanna feels India’s well-rounded attack make them favourites to defend the Champions Trophy they won four years ago.

"I feel India and Australia are the two most well balanced teams. They should make the final. India especially have a very good attack with six specialist bowlers," said Prasanna. The former off-spinner further said that tweakers R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja will play a major role, just like they did in 2013. Jadeja was India’s leading wicket-taker in the tournament with 12 wickets at an average of 12.13, while Ashwin took eight wickets at 22.62.
