MELBOURNE : Defending champions Australia have had a patchy buildup to their T20 World Cup defence but few would dare underestimate Aaron Finch's men when they flick the switch to tournament mode this week.
Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri looked to bring in their own brand of daredevilry to the format. While Dhoni’s tactic was always about stretching the game as far as possible and stifling the opposition in a pressure-cooker situation, Kohli preferred an in-yourface attacking approach from Ball 1. During his partnership with Shastri, we saw the influx of specialists — be it out-and-out pace or wrist spin. It worked for a while but went bust in UAE last year as India failed to go beyond the group stage, which prompted a regime change.
India last won a world cup 11 years ago and skipper Rohit Sharma knows his team will have to do a lot of things right to lift the coveted trophy in Australia. Their last ICC trophy came back in 2013 when they won the Champions Trophy. "If individuals can keep themselves calm and composed during the game we will get the results that we are looking for. It has been a while since we won the World Cup. "The motive and thought process is to win the World Cup but we know we need to do a lot of things right to get there. So one step at a time for us and focus on each team we are going to come against and not think about semis or finals," Rohit said in a video posted on bcci.tv.
Since winning the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup in 2007, the Indian cricket team hasn't been crowned champions in the shortest format of the game. Even the last ODI World Cup win came back in 2011. Ahead of the start of India's campaign in the T20 World Cup 2022, skipper Rohit Sharma said that the players in the team aren't talking much about the fact that they are playing in a 'World Cup'. Rohit also explained the logic behind such an approach.
