When India won the World Cup last time in 2011, Rohit Sharma was not part of the winning side.
But this time he will lead the India side in the 2023 edition at home, the desire of laying hands on the trophy is sparking vigorously.
The men in blue featured in the next two editions of the marquee ICC event but were knocked out after losing the semi-finals, to Australia and New Zealand in 2015 and 2019, respectively.
Rohit Sharma has well experienced those heart-wrenching defeats and still craves for winning a 50-over world cup for the country.
India is still looking to find the right balance in the team that could be fielded in the World Cup.
Moreover, the hosts will look to end their decade-long draught of an ICC trophy with their last major win coming in the Champions Trophy 2013.
Speaking at an event, Indian captain Rohit Sharma said the team is ‘desperate’ to break the jinx in the upcoming World Cup and are armed with ‘inner confidence’ and ‘self-belief’ to win the title.
