The next big plan or assignment for the Indian Cricket team is pretty much that what the rest of the cricket playing nations are targeting and it all points to the mega event slated for the next year, i.e., 2027 ICC Men's 50-over Cricket World Cup.
The seminal event in the international men's game is what India will be targeting especially after coming so close back in 2019 when the competition was held in India and yet not being able to walk over the line.
This time around, the event garners even more importance due to the fact that it is surely going to be the last ever World Cup for two of India's long standing greats in 50-over cricket, namely- Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. And of lately, both of them have been testing their skills and further solidifying their craft in a format in which their standing is redoubtably among the all time greats. The recent series against England, despite not fetching the desired results for the visiting India side, served further evidence of two of India's amazing cricketers who bat with a sense of elan and composure. While Rohit Sharma struck a brilliant ton at Lord's, his 8th century overall in England and the highest individual score by a Indian at the iconic venue, Kohli with his brilliant 74 reached his highest ever score at the famed venue.
How desperately India need Rohit and Virat to fire and come up tops in the World Cup is something only those can understand who've been a witness to their amazing careers and noted the fact that the their successes in the T20 World Cup events notwithstanding, both are keenly searching for an elusive 50-over World Cup crown.
And among the most loved and noted cricketers to have taken a note of this very fact and the fact that both these Indian greats are somewhere irreplaceable is none other than Abraham Benjamin De Villiers.
The great legend from South Africa has stated in no uncertain terms that the big match experience and the ability to handle pressure in tricky situations is something that will cast Virat and Rohit in a different league and the Protean has shared that their ability to come good in pressure situations will keep India in good stead in what's to come.
Here's the exact statement offered by a batter and cricket legend who is as loved as he is respected:
'What Virat and Rohit bring to the party. In pressure moments, it changes everything. There is a whole different pressure playing in World Cups and big tournaments"
One wonders if there'll be anyone who'll quite disagree to the assessment made by the former South African cricketer!
