India spoke at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 – Captain’s Day event, which was exclusively televised on Star Sports, the tournament’s official broadcaster. Rohit Sharma, the captain, discussed how the weather ruined the warm-up games. Not really, he replied. We were relieved to have those days off, especially after commenting about how hot it was and other similar things. Recently, we have played a lot of cricket. We participated in the Asia Cup, where we played four or five games, and then we faced Australia three times. That helps us comprehend everyone’s situation as well as what our team needs to accomplish. I mean, looking back, absolutely,
Despite the fact that I really can’t do anything when the weather is going to be like that, I would have wanted to play those two games. There wasn’t much we could have done other, you know, traveling from one part of India to another part of India. However, generally I’m delighted with how we’ve prepared for this competition, playing a lot of cricket and performing well. So yes, men currently have a fairly good appearance.
Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, remarked about the assistance they have received since arriving in India. “To be honest, ever since we’ve arrived in Hyderabad, the kind of hospitality that we’ve received, the way people have welcomed us, from the airport to the hotel, in the stadium, even in our last match, the crowd that came, we found that to be very nice,” he added. We would have been happy if there had also been admirers from our nation. I’m excited about the game because we’ll aim to receive that support in every game, in every stadium.
Babar Azam discussed his five-year return to Indian circumstances. “See, there is no pressure; the circumstances are like those in Pakistan or Asia,” he remarked. Despite the fact that we have been staying here for a week, there hasn’t been much of a difference in our practice games. The boundaries being shorter, there is no margin for error for the bowlers, and the batter can take advantage of that if they don’t bowl accurately. Therefore, you must play appropriately because the runs will be more numerous here. However, we’ll make an effort to play our best game, apply it, and execute it that day.
Rohit Sharma also discussed the recent tendency of host countries winning the World Cup.
He stated, “Don’t think too much about it; honestly, it has happened in the last three World Cups; all I can say is that we will try our best, give our best effort, and take pleasure in the competition. That is all I can say at this time because the tournament is still ongoing and I do realize that you shouldn’t plan ahead too far. Therefore, it’s crucial for us to attempt and concentrate on one task at a time before moving on.
Azam addressed the Pakistani team’s strength in his speech. “I believe our bowling is our strength,” he remarked. We’ve been playing together for the past three years, as you are aware, and most of the boys are the same. So, in my opinion, our strength is in bowling.
