India's opener KL Rahul is aiming to win as many World Cup titles as possible for the Indian cricket team and create history. He is currently playing the T20 World Cup 2021 in UAE.
Speaking in a video for ICC, Rahul revealed India's World Cup 2011 victory changed him and he got inspired to make history.
Team India had defeated Sri Lanka in the World Cup 2011 final under the leadership of MS Dhoni to win the title after 28 years.

"Growing up, I watched the 2011 World Cup at home, that's when we won the World Cup and things changed for me," Rahul said in the video.
"From that day on, I was like, this is what I want to do. I want to win a World Cup for my country, win one or two or three and be part of the world cup and create history," he added.
Rahul, on Friday (November 5), smashed an 18-ball half-century against Scotland while chasing a paltry score of 86 runs. India won the match by 8 wickets after reaching the target in just 6.3 overs.
India's qualifications chances for the semi-final got affected after they lost their first two matches. But there is still a slim chance if Afghanistan beats New Zealand on Sunday.
