Former England captain and batting mainstay, Sir Geoffrey Boycott reckons India go into their June 18-22 World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand as favourites.

“India are favourites in my book because of what they did in Australia, where they showcased their talent and fighting qualities in the final Test at the Gabba in Brisbane to win the series 2-1,” Boycott, 80,  told mid-day from Yorkshire.
