India's depth in the squad and with plenty of talent in them can win them the T20 World Cup this time around said Former England Skipper Eoin Morgan.
India has made some edits to the squad with the Likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shivam Dubey, and Sanju Samson getting a chance to wear the blue jersey in the West Indies and USA for 29 days. The rest of the squad is similar to what it was in the previous edition.
During a Sky Sports with fellow Commentators Naseer Hussain and Michael Atherton, Morgan made a bold and confident statement about Team India's chances in the T20 World Cup.

Morgan on Team India
He Stated- For me this is the best side on paper even with Injuries throughout the tournament
Morgan was also impressed with the depth the squad has this time around,
he quipped- The Strength of the side is incredible right now, we are discussing the players who have missed the bus.
They are favorites for me, they have a lot of quality players on paper if they all can pull through well they can beat anybody.
The Indian is determined to do well in this T20 World Cup, since 2013 the Men In Blue haven't touched any ICC silverware.
In terms of T20 World Cups it stretches to 17 years, India won the Inaugural T20 World Cup in South Africa against Pakistan. Since then they have finished in the group stages in 2009,10 and 12, the team agonizingly lost the final in the 2014 edition in Bangladesh after being touted as 'unbeatables' in that particular World Cup.
Since that loss in the final to Sri Lanka in 2014 Indian team played 3 more T20 World Cups finishing in the semi-finals twice.
