2023 ICC Cricket World Cup (October/November) - India

[Till Valhalla]

Only Indian fans could be nervous about losing to a team who has only beat England, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Netherlands and Bangladesh

Player mentality level. I really would have liked India chances more if Hardik was in the side not because of his cricketing ability but his mental state is really good.

This is quite insane if it’s true. Isn’t the ICC supposed to oversee pitches?

India and Knockouts- I'd be worried even if we were facing Afghanistan/ Bangladesh/ Ireland/ Netherlands.

Given that we haven't been able to compete in these games, it is but natural that an Indian fan will be concerned.

Some of the players would very well be playing their very last WC match today.

From India's perspective, I would say Rohit and Shami look like the ones who will make way. Virat and Jadeja could still make it to next edition, though it might take some doing.
From NZ's point of view, maybe Kane Williamson is the one. Boult or Southee...who knows?

As a fan, can't help but think about anything else than the knockout syndrome that we are plagued with. I would be honestly surprised if we make it to the Final.

The nervousness among Indian fan is real today.

More so given our recent history in last 10 years in knockouts.

Today is our best bet to overcome it.

Well, Latham isn't really in form. People who arent at their best, usually turn the heat on to India- Jayawardena in 2011 Final, Aaron Finch CWC 2015...
