New Delhi:
Crores of Indian fans are praying that this time the T20 World Cup starting from June 1 (T20 World Cup 2024) should end Team India’s 13-year drought of winning the ICC trophy. Team Rohit has reached the mega tournament to be held in West Indies-America with a lot of preparation. All the players will play the World Cup after getting enough match practice in IPL. However, after the announcement of the team, the form of captain Rohit Sharma is missing along with some players. India have not won a tournament since the inaugural edition in South Africa 17 years ago. In the year 2021, Team India lost in the league round and in 2022, India got out of the semi-finals. However, now when Team India is being called a big contender, former England cricketer David Lloyd has made a big statement about India.
T20 World Cup: The “master” of the playoffs, Team India may miss it in the T20 World Cup
He said that the Indian team is quite predictable and not really dangerous and its weaknesses have not been completely overcome. That said I think any opponent accepts quality. Certainly he is a good player, but he is not taking risks with the ball or the bat. Lloyd said that it is true that they will have good moments in the tournament, but in reality this team is not dangerous.
