India favourites for World T20: Brian Lara

Brian Lara, West Indies batting legend, has branded hosts India as favourites in the upcoming ICC World Twenty20 Championship but also insisted that the West Indies can also pose a threat if they play consistent cricket during the March 8 to April 3 event.
Lara feels India would start the tournament with an edge because of the home advantage. "I think India will win in home conditions. Their players know the pitches and they're playing good cricket against the best teams in the world at present in that version of the game
"But I must talk about the West Indies. I hope they can pick the best possible team because if they do, every other nation will be worried," Lara added.
