Heartfelt Post by Venkatesh Prasad for the Indian Cricket Team
On Saturday, former cricketer of Team India Venkatesh Prasad hoped that Team India would start winning championships in the coming year. Prasad took to X and said that 2023 was a year of "what could have been" for Rohit Sharma's side. He added that the 'Men in Blue' dominated the whole ODI World Cup 2023 but had a bad day in the final match of the tournament against Australia. The former cricketer also pointed out India's sloppy performance in the World Test Championship final.
Prasad wrote, “It’s been a year of ‘What could have been’ for Team India. Dominated the World Cup only to have a very bad day when it mattered in the finals. Lost the WTC finals as well. Travis Head was brilliant in both of these games. I hope that in the coming year, India will start winning championships, which have alluded to them for more than a decade now. Wishing the best for Team India in the coming year and always.”
The last time team India won a major ICC tournament back in 2013 was the ICC Champions Trophy. In 2023, the 'Men in Blue' reached the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup at home. They reached the finals of the 2019–21 and 2021–23 ICC World Test Championships but have failed to win any of these tournaments.
