Calcutta: Ian Chappell feels Mohit Sharma has been a revelation in the ongoing World Cup as he has made a huge difference to the Indian attack.

Chappell said India can be counted as one of the favourites to win the World Cup if they continue the form they showed while beating Pakistan and South Africa.

"Indian bowling has been a huge difference in the World Cup as compared to Test series against Australia and the tri-series. Mohit Sharma has played a big part in this transformation, he has been a revelation and suddenly he has made a big difference to Indian bowling," Chappell said.

"Indian bowling was not consistent against Australia in Test series and then in the tri-series. They will bowl well and then they will have bad deliveries. They have now cut down on those bad deliveries. If India can continue bowling like this, they will be one of the favourites to win the World Cup," he told a news channel.

VVS Laxman also praised Mohit for his consistent bowling.

"Mohit has a slower delivery also and he is very consistent. He made his bowling very simple by bowling wicket to wicket consistently and he does not easily give away those loose deliveries. (Mahendra Singh) Dhoni knows him well and used him in the IPL for Chennai Super Kings," he said.
