Rohit Sharma and Team India
ICC ODI WC 2023 : Rohit Sharma has transformed Team India under his captaincy. The team is riding on the winning streak in the ICC World Cup 2023, which is continuing. The team first entered the semi-finals by winning all the league matches and then managed to reach the finals by defeating New Zealand. Rohit Sharma has become the fourth captain in the history of Indian cricket, who has reached the World Cup final with his team. Earlier, Team India under the captaincy of Kapil Dev in 1983, Sourav Ganguly in 2003 and MS Dhoni in 2011 had reached the final. Except once in 2003, it managed to win the title all the other times. This time too, we should hope that the Indian cricket team wins the World Cup title once again. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma has come very close to the World Cup record of Australia captain Ricky Ponting, he can equal it in the next match.
The Australian team did not lose a single match in the 2003 and 2007 World Cups.
In fact, the captain who has won the most consecutive matches in an ODI World Cup is Ricky Ponting. Under his captaincy, Australia did not lose a single match in the year 2003, whereas in the year 2007 also, the command of the Australian team was in the hands of Ricky Ponting, there also his team did not lose a single match. That means the team had captured the title by winning 11 consecutive matches. In the year 2003, under the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly, the Indian team had won 9 consecutive matches, but had to face defeat in the final against the Australian team captained by Ricky Ponting. Rohit Sharma has so far won 10 matches including semi-finals. As soon as he wins the final, he will not only be at par with Ricky Ponting but will also join the list of captains like Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni who have won the ODI World Cup for India.
Team India will compete against either Australia or South Africa.
The Indian team has booked its seat in the final by defeating New Zealand. Now today the match will be played between Australia and South Africa. Whichever team wins this, India will compete with it. The final match of the World Cup will be played on 19 November at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Earlier in the year 2011 also, India had hosted the World Cup and the team had won the title. However, the final match was played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and India won the title by defeating Sri Lanka. If the Australian team reaches the final, then it will be the eighth time for them that they will be playing the final, whereas if the South African team reaches the final, then it will be the first time that the team has made its place in the final. Well, whatever happens, Team India needs to win, because no one would want an incident to happen just one step away from the title, which cricket fans would not be able to forget. It should be hoped that Team India captures the world title once again.
