Two key factors that can lead India to win the World Cup trophy have been underlined by the master blaster Sachin Tendulkar.

Being optimistic, senior batsman Sachin Tendulkar has said that pre-tournament recovery and maintaining the momentum will allow India to win the World Cup.

Tendulkar has also said that team India has been consistently performing well and it needs to keep the momentum going in order to win the World Cup next year.

"I think our pre-tournament preparation will be a key and at the same time pre-tournament recovery is also important so that we're raring to go once the event has started", he added.

Tendulkar said that it's difficult to anticipate which team would perform well in the tournament, as it's about who would do well on the given day.

Sachin Tendulkar started playing cricket in the narrow lanes of Mumbai, when he was a child. He once said in an interview that today he plays well because he had practiced playing cricket in the narrow alleys of Mumbai, where one can only hit the ball if the shot goes down the alley.

He started playing as a batsman in one day internationals against Pakistan in 1989, when he was only 16.
