Also, Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer and others want to achieve what the team led by MS Dhoni did in his 2011. Maybe the weight of winning over 50 World Cups is why we’re still talking about Dhoni and company after 12 long years.A home win at the 2023 World Cup will be hardik Immortalizing a player like his Pandya has no doubt.

Well, Gautam Gambhir, who helped India win the World Cup in 2011, nailed him in the head by speaking candidly about his Road to Glory for Star Sports.
“If the franchise (IPL) has to suffer, they have to suffer,” he said. Indian cricket is the main player. Not an IPL. IPL is a by-product. If India wins the World Cup, it will be a big chance. So if a major player can’t make it to his IPL, that’s okay. The IPL is every year and the World Championships every four years.
