Indian Cricket Team
ICC WC 2023 : Team India has reached the semi-finals of ODI World Cup 2023. Not only this, the remaining three teams are also decided. Although it seems that the fourth team will be New Zealand, but the official announcement has not been made yet. Till now three teams are presenting their respective claims, but the kind of target that New Zealand has set before Afghanistan and Pakistan by defeating Sri Lanka, it is a very difficult task for these two teams to achieve. That is, if it continues like this then it is certain that Team India is seen facing New Zealand in the semi-finals. This time, when the World Cup started, Team India was considered a strong contender to win the title. So far the first milestone has been crossed, but the remaining ones remain. To become world champion, the Indian cricket team will have to overcome a big hurdle, which Team India has not been able to overcome twice before.
Lost to Australia in the 2015 World Cup semi-finals
It is about the 2015 World Cup. Three more teams including India qualified for the semi-finals. Apart from New Zealand, South Africa, Australia was also involved in this. The first semi-final was played between New Zealand and South Africa. Which New Zealand won by four wickets and secured a place in the final. After this came the turn of the second semi-final. The teams of India and Australia were face to face. Indian fans were hopeful that the Indian team would once again reach the finals and capture the title, but the Kangaroo team did not allow this to happen. In this match played at Sydney Cricket Ground, Australia won by 95 runs. After this, Australia also captured the title by defeating New Zealand in the final.
New Zealand lost in the semi-finals in the 2019 World Cup.
After this came the year 2019. This time too, Team India had easily reached the semi-finals. Apart from India, other teams which made it to the semi-finals were Australia, England and New Zealand. The first semi-final was played between India and New Zealand and in this Team India lost by a small margin of 18 runs and the dream of winning the World Cup again remained unfulfilled. In the second semi-final, England defeated Australia and secured their place in the final and then also captured the title. That is, after winning the 2011 World Cup, Team India has been reaching the semi-finals twice in a row, but forget about the title, it is not able to even reach the finals. In such a situation, the biggest challenge before Rohit Sharma will be to overcome the hurdle of semi-finals and after that once again win the World Cup trophy.
