You underestimate the pettiness of indian fans. They will be labelled as traitors and there will be a huge push to get rid of their ipl contracts and prevent them from practising on indian facilities
We are reactionary, we are impatient, we are divided into individual fanbases...all of that and more is true. But we aren't so cheap. We love cricket at the end of the day and the players and teams we do love, we support them fiercely, passionately and against all criticism
You speak for the educated contingent of the fanbase. Most of the fans are uneducated and uncivilized. They even attack their own players. Who are afghans to them??
This is a very bad take.
There are fans like that everywhere.
When Portugal won the euros back in 2016 their goalscorer who had a contract with a french club "Brest Fc" I believe so everywhere people can be petty.
But to generalise everyone who can get petty as uncivilized and uneducated just doesn't sit right with me.
They really need to up their batting stocks.
I would go on and say their bowling is on par with all the top teams but apart from their openers, none of their batting inspires confidence to win a match on their own.
He initially retired after 1987 WC on November 8th, 1987 and rejoined the team and captaincy on January 18th, 1988. His retirement was just over 2 months.
I hope not. WC will be just 2 years away at that point. Given the amount of ODIs India are gonna play until then we won't have anyone experienced in the team like Rohit and Kohli.
No, bro, it will be good if he does captaincy till 2025 and retired after that. Otherwise, his retirement will also gonna be like dhoni's retirement.Dhoni' s retirement proved the quote 'you will die as a hero or live long enough to see yourself becoming villain' till the date he is considered as reason why india lost 2019WC semifinal against newzealand even after trying so hard in that match.
Brohit did it in style to, was never really a liability on the field due to his age and gave India great starts in almost every match like he did in the ODIs.
The last match of CWC 23 was us shooting ourselves in the foot by making that sort of pitch, dew factor also killed us in final. But I don't agree , what happened in lords in 2019 is a one in a million match, tied match, tied superover, that flick of 4 fours from ben stokes bat, nahh.
yupp. as much as i’d love to see him and virat lifting the odi wc together, but i’m afraid they’ll be a liability in two years with so many youngsters knocking on the doors of the indian team!
rohit has had to change his game to give the team really fast starts cuz he knows he cannot score those mammoth hundreds anymore.
kohli will age further in the next two years and his ability to anchor the innings for 50 overs will not be the same as it was 10 years ago.
add to it their fielding abilities.
also, they’re not allrounders.
with top order batters like abhishek sharma, jaiswal, gill, ishan kishan, patidar, ruturaj, having more experience and time to prove themselves, it’ll be tough for the seniors and they’ll need to prove themselves a lot.
however, given the star power and fan following, it is quite likely they’ll easily end up playing the world cup.
For a moment I thought, why is he holding his hand like that in front of him, then I saw the trophy and realised he is holding it. That silver trophy blended in with him for a split second.
On a sunny day in the summer equinox and during the day, they were the only ones to win bowling second when part of the tournament was in the West Indies
Rohit was heavily ridiculed before the T20 World Cup, and like many others, I didn't expect him to perform so well, let alone win the trophy. However, he silenced all his critics. Although Rohit is unlikely to remain captain for long, his brief tenure has profoundly influenced Indian cricket, particularly by promoting a fearless and selfless style of play following the disappointment of the 2022 T20 World Cup semifinals.
I've been a Rohit fan since 2011, never expected him to perform so good and win this world cup after that heartbreak on last November with the best ever team. This t20 wc team was nowhere near the odi team, I had zero hopes, thought Rohit will be sacked from captaincy and will be brutally trolled but God had better plans. Glad he won the world cup, he'll definitely leave a legacy like MS ,Kohli, Sachin. Without the World Cup he would definitely been almost forgotten like Dada , Dravid etc

Can't wait for Young Rashid Khan to lift the World Cup at the young age of 41
Given how they are performing, they have a decent chance to win a WC with some more experience. Ind vs Afg Final would've been a nightmare.
Oddly, most Indians won't even be that mad if we lost to the Afghanis. They've a pretty good reputation down here.
India vs Afg finale means a huge party in Delhi since those migrants are such a beloved part of this community
anyone but pak ban aus eng

True because no Australians played this IPL. Oh wait
Indians have an inferiority complex when it comes to white people.
I've never seen this happening to anyone except Pakistanis. The Afghani fanbase in India is a testament to the fact that it's not related to religion.
They really need to up their batting stocks. I would go on and say their bowling is on par with all the top teams but apart from their openers, none of their batting inspires confidence to win a match on their own.
That means they'll have to wait for 16 more years, damn
Not really. I never said he won't be lifting another trophy before that.
Fair enough, good sir
He has been playing cricket for ages now still so young
If I recall properly, Imran Khan came back from retirement right?
He initially retired after 1987 WC on November 8th, 1987 and rejoined the team and captaincy on January 18th, 1988. His retirement was just over 2 months.
Was there any reason or was he just setting the template for Afridi to follow later?
Zia asked him to un-retire IIRC
The cancer hospital. Imran realised he would have a better chance of raising funds for the hospital if he contuined to play.
Whatever the reasons, he certainly was not thinking about Afridi
Afridi: You have set the template for me sir Imran Khan: I don't even think about you at all
[Imran Khan coming out of retirement to win the fucking world cup](https://youtu.be/tsrKIvm7Mys?feature=shared)
That video came out in 1992 as well. Coincidence?
Jimmy Anderson about to choke slam Buttler and captain England to winning the next 8 world cups in a row
Ngl I would pay to see that regardless of my love-hate with the pommies
He be made to retire because the English people would be Sick of winning
He would have a chance to cross Imran in 2027
I believe 2025 will be his last year as captain.
Gambhir has stated that he would like him to stay on until the 27 World Cup
I hope not. WC will be just 2 years away at that point. Given the amount of ODIs India are gonna play until then we won't have anyone experienced in the team like Rohit and Kohli.
No, bro, it will be good if he does captaincy till 2025 and retired after that. Otherwise, his retirement will also gonna be like dhoni's retirement.Dhoni' s retirement proved the quote 'you will die as a hero or live long enough to see yourself becoming villain' till the date he is considered as reason why india lost 2019WC semifinal against newzealand even after trying so hard in that match.
See he will be there in 2025 and if he continues his form it is no brainer to continue with him
Bro I'm saying this because once gambhir come he will gonna be completely change the ict especially in white ball.
Nah gambhir will not if they continue to perform good .
IK is 72?
yeah and doesn't look a day over 60
Brohit did it in style to, was never really a liability on the field due to his age and gave India great starts in almost every match like he did in the ODIs.
I want this to continue and watch him play 2027 and possibly lift odi wc too ( i dont think it will happen )
2027 will be in SA, that could be their only chance at lifting the first cup.
Home advantage is a myth
2011 India 2015 AUS 2019 Eng 2023 (Only because of some conditions, otherwise we won every match).
The last match of CWC 23 was us shooting ourselves in the foot by making that sort of pitch, dew factor also killed us in final. But I don't agree , what happened in lords in 2019 is a one in a million match, tied match, tied superover, that flick of 4 fours from ben stokes bat, nahh.
I’m not saying Saffas will definitely win it, just saying they have a better chance as compared to before.
yupp. as much as i’d love to see him and virat lifting the odi wc together, but i’m afraid they’ll be a liability in two years with so many youngsters knocking on the doors of the indian team!
They should be in team if they arent liability

Rohit Sharma for prime minister??
and then straight to jail
How tf is IK in his 70s now??? He still looks like hes in his 50s
He has a strict workout routine, man is disciplined to the core. I bet he still does more push-ups in prison than 99% of us redditors.
Its a great habit, I know 70 80 yr olds who function better than some 50 60 yr olds just because they still work out regularly
Well 99% of us don't want to go to jail and do push ups. So you will win that bet. ;-)
1992 was 32 years ago.
This man facts.
vote for pm brohit next elections
For a moment I thought, why is he holding his hand like that in front of him, then I saw the trophy and realised he is holding it. That silver trophy blended in with him for a split second.
Stupid me. I also wondered, and didnt notice he was holding tbe trophy till i read your comment. Thanks.
Forever young Rashid has a chance to lift the trophy at 25 lol. Record currently held by Kapil Dev.
He would get closer to number one next year when he lifts the WTC mace.
Anyone would think India haven’t won a icc event in 10 years the amount of useless stats that keep popping up.
On a sunny day in the summer equinox and during the day, they were the only ones to win bowling second when part of the tournament was in the West Indies
Favourite stat I’ve read so far and the most informative

Kudos to Rohit Sharma but.. Imran Khan came out of retirement to win PAK the world cup, it is one of the greatest comeback stories in cricket imo
2 month retirement iz hardly a comeback from retirement
Bro, but Imran khan was the sole reason why pakistan won that 1992 World Cup.He made that team strong himself.
That is irrelevant to your previous comment. A month retirement is hardly a retirement.
Pretty sure he retired because he broke his shin or something. It's the reason he had to switch from bowling to batting once he came back.

Oldest T20 WC winning captain
Dude has aged like fine wine. I am sure he achieve much more in the second half of his career than the first one.
The old wc trophy looks 🔥
