Former India cricketer Venkatesh Prasad has shared his thoughts on whether the Indian team has become the new chokers given the drought of ICC championship wins since the 2013 Champions Trophy.

Indian team has been very good in bilateral series, and is the no.1 ranked team in ICC rankings in all three formats- Tests, ODIs, and T20Is. They have been virtually unbeaten at home in bilateral Test series and have done well in ODIs and T20Is as well.

However, when it comes to ICC tournaments, India has faltered badly at the final step. Since the 2013 Champions Trophy win, India has lost in the semi-finals of the Cricket World Cups in 2015 and 2019, in the T20 World Cups 2016 and 2022, in the finals of the T20 World Cup 2014, the Champions Trophy 2017, and the World Test Championship in 2021 and 2023.

This drought continued as India lost the final of the 2023 World Cup at home to Australia. This has led to the fans wondering whether the Men in Blue side have become the true chokers of world cricket.

This was the same question asked by a fan to Venkatesh Prasad on social media platform X. To which, the cricketer said that while India has done well in all forms, the inability to win the ICC tournament is something that is concerning.

“Chokers not, we have won 2 Test series against Australia in Australia, the last one in 2020-21 after 36 all ou, I consider as one of India’s greatest especially with more than half first choice players missing. But there is certainly something not right about not winning any major tournament in 11 years,” Prasad posted.
