India, a cricketing powerhouse, has consistently been a favorite contender in the ICC Cricket World Cup for the past three decades. Even when the event was hosted on home soil, the cricketing fervor reached unparalleled heights. The memories of 1996 still linger when India experienced the highs of an epochal moment in Bangalore, only to face a heartbreaking semi-final defeat at the hands of a once-in-a-generation Sri Lankan side.

Today, Rohit Sharma’s side carries the torch of super World Cup favorites at home. Their success in the upcoming tournament is not only a matter of national pride but also crucial to reinvigorate the ODI format.
As we await the spectacle that is the ICC Cricket World Cup, the entire nation stands united, hoping for another historic moment that will etch itself into the annals of Indian cricketing history.
