India's ICC Trophy Drought: Vaughan Questions Significance of Champions Trophy

India's elusive quest for ICC glory has been a topic of much debate, with former England captain Michael Vaughan expressing his surprise at the team's inability to convert their talent into trophies. Since their last ICC triumph in 2013, India has come close but ultimately fallen short in several major tournaments.

Vaughan, speaking on The Ranveer Show, questioned the significance of the ICC Champions Trophy, which India won in 2013. "That's not a trophy really," he said. "There is the World Cup and the World Test Championship now, India lost both the finals there."

Despite the presence of exceptional captains and players, India has struggled to replicate their domestic dominance on the international stage. Vaughan praised the efforts of Rohit Sharma, Sourav Ganguly, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni, but emphasized that India should be winning more trophies.

"I feel India should be winning every 2-3 trophies that are available," Vaughan said. "They have so much talent in this country."

India's recent performances have been a source of frustration for fans and pundits alike. They reached the final of the 2017 Champions Trophy, 2019 ODI World Cup, and 2023 ODI World Cup, but failed to secure victory. They also lost in the final of the inaugural World Test Championship.

Vaughan believes that India's inability to win ICC titles is a combination of factors, including pressure, big-match temperament, and a lack of consistency. He urged the team to learn from their mistakes and strive for greater success in the future.
