The wait for the world’s biggest tournament is finally coming to an end. After a long time, India is set to host the World Cup, and the expectations are so high for the Indian cricket team. If India emerges victorious, it will mark their third title win. The last time India clinched the World Cup was in 2011, under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. The last World Cup was also hosted by India. This year, the Indian team will be under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.
Rohit Sharma boasts an impressive array of records, having tasted success as a captain and clinching IPL trophies as well. The entire nation is hopeful that, under Rohit Sharma’s leadership, the Indian team will secure victory in the 2023 World Cup.
During a recent press conference, Rohit Sharma made it clear that individual records hold no significance for him. When questioned about how many centuries he plans to score in the upcoming tournament, he confidently stated, “Centuries don’t matter; only the trophy does.” This statement shows the determination of both the captain and the entire team to leave no stone unturned in their quest for victory.
Virat Kohli, a stalwart in the squad, continues to be a fan favorite with his ability to dominate bowlers. Virat is in excellent form and has delivered exceptional performances in recent matches.
