India Eyes ICC T20 World Cup Glory Amidst Team Unity Call
India's quest for an elusive ICC title continues as they embark on the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and West Indies. Led by Rohit Sharma, the Men in Blue are determined to break their title drought that has persisted since 2013.
After a disappointing loss in the final of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, India is eager to make amends in the T20 format. They kicked off their campaign with a convincing victory over Ireland, setting the stage for a highly anticipated clash against arch-rivals Pakistan.
Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh believes that team unity is paramount for India's success. "It's about 'we'," he emphasized. "If we play as a united team, thinking about collective success rather than individual achievements, then we can win."
Rohit Sharma, at 36, is determined to secure an ICC trophy for India. The team's last T20 World Cup victory came in the inaugural edition in 2007, under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Since then, India has reached the final only once, finishing as runners-up in 2014.
Harbhajan recalled the team's success in the 2007 tournament, highlighting the importance of collective decision-making. "Dhoni was a great listener, taking collective decisions that benefited the team," he said. "It was never about individual performances but about playing as 'we'."
India's path to the title will not be easy, but they have the experience and talent to challenge for the trophy. With Rohit Sharma at the helm and a united team behind him, India will be hoping to end their ICC title drought and bring home the coveted T20 World Cup.
