Chennai, Sept 3 (IBNS): Cricketing icon Saching Tendulkar has said that the young Indian team is a contender for the World Cup next year.

“India is definitely among the strong contenders for the title. It is a well balanced side and is tough to beat," Tendulkar told The Hindu.

“It is a versatile ODI team. There is depth in batting and variety in bowling. And the fielding has been brilliant," he said.

Speaking on India's bowling, he said: "In bowling, the Indians have been bowling well in partnerships. There are some good pace and spin options at different stages of the innings.”

The former Indian cricketer said MS Dhoni's men will bounce back in Test matches as well.

“I know the cricketers in this Indian team. I know what they are capable of. This team will come back in Tests. I want to look at things with a positive mind-set,” he said.

India lost the recently held Test series against England 3-1.
