Cricket: Current Indian ODI Team Has Played Lesser Matches Together Than 2011 Winning Side, Says Aakash Chopra
Former India opener Aakash Chopra believes that one major difference in the build-up of the 2023 Men's ODI World Cup as compared to the preparation undertaken by the 2011 tournament-winning team, has been the significantly lesser time of playing matches as a cohesive unit. After the end of 2007 ODI World Cup and before the start of the 2011 edition, India had played 118 ODIs. With the 2023 World Cup being just over two months away, India have played just 57 matches after the end of the 2019 edition in England. Moreover, India has played 42 ODIs since the start of 2021, with 44 players being tried out, highlighting that a settled combination hasn't been achieved yet.
"There is one significant difference in the build-ups of 2011 and 2023 World Cups, which is the amount of T20 cricket being played. I still remember we were very reluctant to play T20 cricket even after winning the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007. It was then two different formats at the international level played by the team.
