I think India will go on to win it over there again: AB de Villiers

“Definitely, India. I think they will go on to win it over there again. It’s going to be a fairytale World Cup. India, England, and Australia got to go with the big three. Then I want to – go with South Africa, even though Pakistan has a really good chance as well. So the fourth team will be South Africa. I’ve gone with three non-sub-continent teams there, which is very risky,” AB de Villiers said on his YouTube channel.

Notably, the legendary cricketer affirms the final of the World Cup 2023 should be between India and England, and if that happens, it would be fantastic. Moreover, the 29-year-old cricketer also expressed his wish to see South Africa during the final match.
