T20: India will start Mission World Cup against Ireland
T20: India will start Mission World Cup against Ireland
The Indian team will start its World Cup campaign on Wednesday. India will face Ireland at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. India’s veteran cricketers like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli would not want to leave any stone unturned to erase the regret of not winning the T20 World Cup trophy for 17 years.
There are still many unanswered questions in the Indian team, such as what will be the team combination on the ‘drop in’ pitch here. It is clear from the matches played here so far that there is not going to be a lot of runs here. An even bigger concern is the tag of a strong contender for the title. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been members of some World Cup winning team, but star cricketers like Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja have not won the title yet and they are desperate for it.
Trust expressed on experienced players
The Indian cricket team does not want to become like the Brazilian football team of 1982 and 1986 when even stars like Socrates, Zico, Careca, Falcao and Alemao could not win the FIFA World Cup. After the ODI World Cup final last year, captain Rohit Sharma could not hide his tears. At the same time, sadness could be clearly seen on the face of Kohli who scored 765 runs. Sometimes the best players together do not make the best team. India has expressed trust in its experienced players, but it should not be forgotten that this same team has not been able to break the last two spells many times. A good performance is expected from Rohit and Kohli.
