Former India head coach Ravi Shastri anticipates that his squad will win a World Cup shortly.
The Rohit Sharma-led team was notable for their outstanding performance throughout the ODI World Cup 2023, but they were unable to win the trophy due to a batting error on the final night. Australia won the match by six wickets because of an incredible 192-run partnership between Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne.
After the defeat, Mohammed Siraj, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma were seen sobbing, demonstrating how upset the players were. After the defeat, though, Shastri inspired the Men in Blue by saying that if they continued to play with the same mindset, a World Cup trophy would soon be in their grasp. He also used the illustrious Sachin Tendulkar as an example, pointing out that on his sixth try, he won the World Cup.
It was devastating, but many of our players will grow from it, the tournament will go on, and I predict India to win the World Cup very soon. Given that you have to rebuild the team, it might not be as easy as it seems in 50 overs, but in 20 overs, India will be a very real contender because you have the core. This is the game’s shortened version. You ought to concentrate on that.”
Since we were the best team, it still stings on the outside that we weren’t able to win the cup. Even the legendary Sachin Tendulkar had to wait six World Cups to win one. Nothing worthwhile comes easily. According to Hindustan Times, Ravi Shastri stated, “You have got to be damn good on that big day to win a World Cup. You don’t win the World Cup easil.”
The Indian squad, on the other hand, has already begun preparing for the June 2024 T20 World Cup tournament. Although it is still unknown, a decision to assemble the core unit will soon be made. The senior players, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, are expected to compete in the main event.
