'I Know What's At Stake', Says India Skipper Rohit Sharma

By AFP News October 04, 2023 • 23:01 PM View: 664

India skipper Rohit Sharma on Wednesday said he appreciates "what's at stake" but will not get bogged down by the weight of expectation on his team to win another World Cup title at home. The hosts begin their campaign against five-time champions Australia in Chennai on Sunday as cricket-crazy India looks to the team to end a long world title drought stretching back to the 2013 Champions Trophy.

India last won the 50-over World Cup at home in 2011 under M.S. Dhoni to add to their 1983 triumph in England.
