'People Forget...'- Rohit Sharma's Goes Emotional A Day Ahead Of World Cup Opener
Rohit Sharma, who will lead the Indian side in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, has talked about the importance that an ICC Trophy holds for a team. The Indian team last won an ICC trophy way back in 2013 when they beat England in the finals at Birmingham. After that, it has been a decade of heartbreaks in knockouts of the ICC events.
After winning the Champions Trophy in 2013, India has reached the knockout stage of an ICC tournament six times and has failed to win the trophy. If we add the World Test Championship finals, then the list goes to eight. Failing to win an ICC trophy after coming so close eight times shows that India has not been doing well in high-pressure games.
Rohit Sharma has talked about how people expect the Indian team to win major ICC trophies and how it changes the entire perspective of fans when they fail to win. People expect the Indian team to win major trophies after all they are currently one of the best teams in the World.
Rohit Sharma Says Indian Cricket Team Is One Of The Top Teams In The World
“Every year there is an ICC trophy now; if you don’t win it’s an unsuccessful year! People just forget what good work has happened in these 10 months. Rightly, as the Indian cricket team, we are expected to win major trophies. We are one of the top teams in the world. We have to be good at it. It has been disappointing for sure,” Sharma said.
It will most likely be Rohit Sharma’s last World Cup, having won the T20 World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy as a player, he will look to get the coveted trophy that is missing from his cabinet. Rohit Sharma is determined to win the World Cup this year and with the current form of the Indian team, it is highly possible.
