With more than a decade passing since India’s last ICC trophy victory in 2013, anticipation mounts as the ODI World Cup 2023 approaches. Rohit Sharma, a part of the victorious 2013 team, faces the challenge of leading India to triumph once again. Now, on the eve of the home World Cup, all eyes are on Rohit Sharma & Co to break this trophy drought.
The pressure is immense as India plays host to the tournament. Will this year mark the end of India’s quest for the trophy? When asked about India’s chances, Captain Rohit Sharma remained diplomatic, stating, “I don’t have an answer for it. How can I say that now? All I can hope is that the team is in a good space. Everybody is fit and fine. That’s all I can hope for. I cannot say beyond this. Good space is such an important factor and it’s a very key thing now,” he said to Indian Express.
India stands among the favorites, competing with teams like England, Australia, New Zealand, and Pakistan. The Men in Blue carry momentum from their recent Asia Cup victory and an ODI series win against five-time champions Australia. Now, their challenge lies in maintaining their form and handling crucial moments as they aim to clinch the coveted ODI World Cup trophy once again.
