Can the Indian cricket team have a drought-breaking win after 12 years? 

Social media platforms are flooded with 2023- new year excitement. You may have seen social media posts such as ’12 days left for 2023 and I am not over 2020!’ Here, we would like to draw a parallel comparison to our Indian cricket team for whom..

“few months left for THE 2023 ODI world cup and still not over THE semi-finals of THE 2019 ODI world cup!”

Since 2019 till now, years have changed, players have changed, coaches have been changed, captains have been changed twice, and MS Dhoni retired but there has been no change in their game plan or in their match results.

Though, India performs well in their bilateral series, however, underperforms at big matches in ICC tournaments. Last time, where India performed out of their league and defeated England in their home ground in the 2013 champions trophy. After that a trail of underperformed series followed starting from the finals of the 2014 T-20 world cup, the semi-finals of the 2015 ODI world cup, the semi-finals of the 2016 T-20 world cup at home ground, the finals of the 2017 Champions Trophy losing to Pakistan, semi-finals of 2019 ODI world cup along with finals of 2020 World Test Championship (WTC) losing to New Zealand, 2020 T-20 World cup hosted in 2021 couldn’t qualify for the knockout round and was out of group stage and in semi-finals of 2022 T-20 world cup!

We lost on so many opportunities to win titles of ICC tournaments in 9 years.

But are we ready to create history again by winning the title of the 2023 ODI World Cup?

Why not? We should be ready! King Kohli is back in form,

we have a new captain- Rohit Sharma, and new talents like Arshdeep Singh, Ishan Kisan and so on.

Also, Indranagar ka Gunda a.k.a The Wall- Rahul Dravid is back in the Indian cricket team as a coach.

India is run by three factors- Bollywood, politics and cricket! If cricket fails then there might be an economic crash and right now, we all can hope to win upcoming titles and live up to the hype.

That’s it for today’s new era of underrated sports talk.

Keep calm and believe in blue!
