As the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup kicks off in the USA, Indian cricket fans are eagerly anticipating whether Team India can finally end their long-standing ICC trophy drought. The team has commenced their preparations with an emphatic victory over Bangladesh in their sole warm-up match in New York.
Former cricketers Sanjay Manjrekar and Navjot Singh Sidhu have emphasized the importance of backing experienced players to triumph in the tournament's crucial matches. Manjrekar expressed confidence that the time is ripe for Team India to break their ICC trophy drought, highlighting Virat Kohli's exceptional record in the tournament. However, he lamented the lack of a trophy to show for it.
"The expectations have shifted from merely playing well to winning pivotal matches," Manjrekar remarked. "It's time for India to back experience and win the big matches."
Sidhu echoed Manjrekar's sentiments, stating that the ending of the story is most important. "You don't read a book to reach the middle," he said. "It's the ending that matters. We need to finish strong."
As the tournament unfolds, Indian fans hope their team will not only make it to the semi-finals but also clinch the trophy, ending a dry spell that has lasted since their 2013 Champions Trophy win. The focus is clear: it's time for India to win the big matches and bring home the coveted ICC trophy.
