India's 2011 World Cup-winning captain MS Dhoni made the day of Team India fans with his million-dollar answer about Men in Blue's chance in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team has had a dream run in the ongoing Cricket World Cup 2023, as the hosts have won all five games played so far in the tournament. The Men in Blue comfortably sit at the top of the CWC 2023 points table with 10 points.
Team India is now just a couple of victories away from securing a berth in the ODI World Cup 2023 semifinals.
Ahead of India’s next game against England on October 29 in Lucknow, Dhoni said that the team is playing good cricket and has great balance. He was positive about the repeat of the 2011 World Cup this time at the Narendra Modi Stadium on November 19.
MS Dhoni said at an event in Bengaluru: “It's a very good team. Bohot accha balance hai team ka. Harlog acha khel rahe hain (The team's balance is extremely good. All the players are playing well). So everything is looking very good. Isse zyada main kuch nahi bolunga, baaki samajhdaar ko ishara kaafi hai (I won't say anything more than this. For the wise, the signal is enough).”
Meanwhile, the former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh recently said that India’s 2023 World Cup squad doesn’t look as united as the 2011 World Cup team was.
Harbhajan told India Today, “There's a big difference between the two teams. That team (the 2011 World Cup-winning Indian side) was a lot more united. They wanted to win the World Cup for Sachin Tendulkar. He commanded a lot of respect from others.”
He signed off by saying, “I am not sure about this team. Don't know who want to win the World Cup for Virat Kohli. But, they want to win for India for sure. This is a big difference.”
