India never won the T20 World Cup after the start of IPL, will ‘Rohit Brigade’ be able to repeat the charisma of ‘Mahi Army’?

New Delhi. The Indian Premier League is the most popular and most watched league of T20 cricket. Despite this, the Indian team has not been able to achieve the success at the international level as expected. India won the T20 World Cup for the first and last time in 2007. Since then, 7 T20 World Cups have been played, but the title remained away from India. When the Indian team under the leadership of Rohit Sharma goes to America and West Indies for the upcoming T20 World Cup, its eyes will be fixed on ending the long wait for the second title.

The T20 World Cup was played for the first time in 2007, when India became champion under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. After this, India could reach the final of the T20 World Cup only once in 2014. Then he/she had to face defeat against Sri Lanka. This drought of titles is visible in other formats as well. India last won the ICC Trophy in 2013. Then he/she won the Champions Trophy.

India last won the ODI World Cup title in 2011. After this, the Indian team has also lost the finals of the ODI World Cup once and the World Test Championship twice. It was not easy for the cricket fans of the cricket-mad country with a population of 1.4 billion to digest the defeat of the World Cup 2023 because Team India had reached the final by winning all its 10 matches.

The Indian team will now start its campaign in the T20 World Cup under the leadership of Rohit Sharma from June 5. This could also be the last T20 World Cup of Rohit and Virat Kohli. Rohit has been a part of the Indian team in all the T20 World Cups till now, while Kohli, who made his/her debut in this tournament in 2012, will participate in it for the sixth time.

Virat Kohli has scored 1141 runs in 27 matches in the tournament at a strike rate of 131.30 and an average of 81.50. Rohit has 963 runs in his/her name in 39 matches at a strike rate of 127.88. Rohit and Kohli have not played any T20 International for India since the defeat against Australia in the semi-finals of the 2022 T20 World Cup.
