West Indies great Clive Lloyd feels a "very well-balanced" India have emerged as the team to beat in the ongoing ICC World Cup.
Virat Kohli's side is unbeaten after its first six matches of the round-robin competition and need just a win from their remaining three games to guarantee a place in the semi-finals.
"I have been impressed by India -- I think the winner of the whole thing is going to be one of them or Australia," Lloyd said in a column for the ICC.
"Any team that wants to lift the trophy will have to beat India -- they are unbeaten so far and look a very well-balanced side."
"What I like about their attack, as opposed to many in this tournament, is that they bowl to take wickets."
"Of course, a lot of that depends on getting rid of Virat Kohli, the best batsman in the tournament."
