Who will win the World Cup?

Yes, cricket is a religion and naturally, we are die-hard addicts of the game. Hence, it just doesn't get bigger than the World Cup and it's associated glory. There's a lot at stake for the 14 participating nations, especially the teams of the Asian subcontinent - India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka andBangladesh considering that matches will be played on home territory and the consequent public support and pressure to win. One also cannot deny the might of the big daddies of the cricketing world namely Australia, South Africa and England. But when it comes to astrological predictions, venue and crowd support comes a distant second to planetary alignments, birth dates and jersey numbers. Here, some of the city's most famous fortune tellers predict their favourites for a scintillating finale to the sporting extravaganza. Don't forget to keep this story alongside your cricket schedule.

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar (born April 24, 1973) is an Indian cricketer, widely considered to be one of the greatest batsmen of all time. He currently holds the records for the most cumulative runs in One-Day Internationals, and the most number of centuries scored in both One-day Internationals and Test cricket. He made his international debut against Pakistan in 1989 at the age of sixteen, becoming India's youngest Test player. Although primarily a top-order batsman, Tendulkar has often proved to be a useful and effective slow bowler. He received India's highest sporting honour, the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna in the year 1997-1998 and the civilian award Padma Shri in 1999. His cricketing and batting abilities are widely regarded as genius by many stalwarts of the game. For instance, Sir Donald Bradman, the Australian great said of Sachin, "He reminds me of myself". He is affectionately known as The Little Master by his adoring fans.Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar (born April 24, 1973) is an Indian cricketer, widely considered to be one of the greatest batsmen of all time.
