A Cricket World Cup in India - it's a dream come true for a nation that loves to idolise its cricketers. The last time India hosted the ODI World Cup, MS Dhoni's men brought cheers to billions by winning the marquee event. This time, Rohit Sharma and Co. are carrying the hopes of the country. India have not won any ICC event since 2013 and the World Cup at home is a brilliant opportunity to end that drought. Playing at home brings with it great pressure. Former Australia wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist, himself a World Cup winner, had a piece of special advice for the Indian cricket team.

"If I'm in place of Sanju Samson right now I will be very disappointed...," Irfan posted on X (formerly called Twitter).
