The top boss calls Kohli his favourite batsman.
Nikhil Ranjan, MD, William Penn has no memories from Team India's '83 win, but has a favourite moment from the 2011 victory.

The top boss talks cricket and his World Cup predictions.

Favourite World Cup memory

“Although we have won the World Cup twice — in 1983 and 2011 — I have no memories of our ’83 win. My favourite moment was from the 2011 final, where Virat Kohli had Sachin Tendulkar on his shoulders, with Tendulkar holding up the flag. Today, Kohli is leading the team. It’s quite a contrast.”

Heading to London
“No, as much as I’d love to.”

Favourite cricketer
“Virat Kohli would be my pick among batsmen and Jofra Archer/Rashid Khan among bowlers.”

Predictions
“I predict that India will qualify for the semis, but I fancy either England or Australia to win.”

Cricket memorabilia
“I don’t collect memorabilia. But if I did, I’d love to own a pair of shoes that Virat played in. It would also be cool to own and show off the ticket/entry pass stub of the finals at Lord’s. That would be invaluable.”
