India will take the field at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados on Saturday, June 28, aiming to end their ICC trophy drought against South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2024 final. The Men in Blue have been the standout team in the tournament, dominating all their opponents and arriving at the final as a formidable force.
Rohit Sharma And Virat Kohli's Last Dance?
India is just one step away from reclaiming the glory that has evaded them for 11 long years. The Asian giants last won an ICC Trophy in 2013 when MS Dhoni led a young team to a Champions Trophy victory. Of the 15-member squad from that champion team, only three players are part of the current squad: captain Rohit Sharma, star batter Virat Kohli, and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.
Over the past 11 years, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have risen to become two of the greatest batters in modern cricket, becoming integral parts of the Indian team across all formats. Despite numerous accolades, their trophy cabinets lack another ICC event winner's medal.
The last 11 years have seen the meteoric rise of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have dazzled the world with their remarkable batting. Their extraordinary stroke play has enthralled both pundits and fans alike.
As batting stalwarts, Rohit and Kohli became the backbone of Indian cricket, taking up leadership roles and striving to keep India at the top of world cricket. However, despite their best efforts, they have not been able to secure another major trophy.
If one word could encapsulate the journey of Indian cricket over the past 11 years, it would be 'agony'. This period has been marked by the tears of players who have seen the collective dream of a billion people shattered time and again.
