'South Africa for me are the No. 1 side' – Shreevats Goswami picks Proteas as ODI World Cup 2027 favourites

Former Indian wicketkeeper Shreevats Goswami has identified South Africa as his primary pick to claim the 2027 ODI World Cup, which will be co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. During an appearance on the Beyond23 Cricket podcast, Goswami ranked India second and suggested that veteran batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would be intensely driven to conclude their international careers on a high note during the tournament.

Meanwhile, the Indian squad prepares for their upcoming three-match domestic ODI series against the West Indies at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. Across international fixtures, the South African team has established a 1-0 advantage in their ongoing three-match home series against Australia following a 67-run victory at Kingsmead in Durban.
