India's road to the final of the 2023 World Cup

[Kohli The King of Chase]

2011 won by the host
2015 won by the host
2019 won by the host
2023 will be won by the host

Never mind if we lost this time. We will win next time.

 

[Cricket lover 27]

Congratulations in advance!!!

 

[AdamM97]

Congratulations in advance... I guess.

 

[sweep_shot]

Nobody knows future. 2023 is a long way to go.

India has a good chance because they have home advantage.

 

[Pakistanian]

Pakistan will upset India in the final, it will be the most heartwrenching defeat in Indian cricket history

 

[Afhan Ali]

Congrats india

 

[HappyWarsFan]

I think Pakistan will win. Shaheen and Amir will be even better by then, Imad and haris will be crucial experienced players. Babar, imam and zafsr gohar will be rising Stars. Will be a great team

 

[troodon]

Has Dhoni announced his retirement yet? It depends if Grandpa gives chances to the youngsters.

 

[aloo paratha]

Obviously I want Pakistan to win in 2023, but a part of me also wants NZ to win, they need justice.

 

[Madplayer]

Good that you told everyone this. Now the rest of the teams dont have to participate in it or prepare for it. Congrats India.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Dhoni will be player of the tournament for his 7 centuries and 21 stumps btw congratulations.

 

[Nov15]

This decade belonged to the Big 3. Not sure about India winning the cup, but an Asian team will surely be in the 2023 final.

 

[PakFan764]

A pattern usually breaks down after 3 successful attempts.

 

[AdamM97]

This decade belonged to the Big 3. Not sure about India winning the cup, but an Asian team will surely be in the 2023 final.

The next decade will be Pakistan's decade Insha'Allah!

 

[Usman Chadda]

Has Dhoni announced his retirement yet? It depends if Grandpa gives chances to the youngsters.

I agree on Dhoni being rubbish right now, but with him gone, India will lose a shrewd tactician on the field.

Kohli is not a good enough captain without Dhoni. Rohit is better.

 

[Titan24]

Congrats in advance. There were two WC winners today one of 2019 and other of 2023

 

[Roaring40s]

2023 in the current situation is a very distant future. Two world T20s to come. In the meanwhile-

1. Dhoni will not retire until forced. Lets assume he retires/forced to - in 2020. Pant becomes a permanent fixture and after 1-2 years, still gives only on/off performances. Then we will have the difficult choice of either giving Pant more time to settle or select a new, inexperienced WK for the WC.

2. By 2023 our un-dropable top 3 will all be 33-35 years. They will accumulate mostly. And who knows scoring rates may rise even further with teams frequently scoring 350+ on batting pitches. We will be 150-1 after 35 mostly and blame the losses on lower order who (poor souls) would struggle to consistently score at 10 RPO.

3. Bhuvi is a very ordinary bowler in ODIs who bowls a good spell every fourth match or so. He would be more of a liability. Shami, who looks much older than his official age would probably retire/forced out by then. This will put the whole burden of pace department on Bumrah's shoulders.

4. Kohli the ODI captain makes too many tactical blunders. One bad 48th/49th over in the knockouts and we would be out of the contest.

 

[ChTab]

2011 won by the host
2015 won by the host
2019 won by the host
2023 will be won by the host

Never mind if we lost this time. We will win next time.

Because of these thing i strongly believe that ICC work behind the scenes to make sure that home nation wins the tournament or at least play the final.
2011WC: both host nations played final & nation who was hosting the final won the game.
2015 WC: both host nations played final & nation who was hosting the final won the game.
2019WC: HOST NATIONS England won the tournament the team who was considered as bottlers on biggest stages.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Good that you told everyone this. Now the rest of the teams dont have to participate in it or prepare for it. Congrats India.

Cracked me up.

 

[nextover666666]

Bangladesh will take it in 2023

But don't be suprised if the pitch ma favor India and if a lot of the umpire decisions go Indias way

 

[Sin Nombre]

Bangladesh will take it in 2023

But don't be suprised if the pitch ma favor India and if a lot of the umpire decisions go Indias way

Yeah take a leaf from the English notebook.

Despite that, if Kohli is the captain, India will again lose in the semis or finals. He is a champion choker.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Congrats to Pakistan on beating India by 2 wickets in the final. Didn't think the boys had it in them but Imad Wasim and Mohammad Amir kept their nerve, took us over the finish line

 

[ElRaja]

dont see why people reckon bangladesh will be strong, mortaza, shakib, mahmudullah, mushfiq, tamim, etc will all be officially 35 or more. fizz is the only real youngster who is pbly a certainty to be around in 4 years.

 

[Hasan123]

They will be the favourites no doubt about that.

 

[Green Patriot]

Everybody here Congratulating India already )
It's like the OP has informed everybody of a fact.

And here i am still unable to digest what happened today.
But still,Congratulations India.

 

[Usman Chadda]

They will be the favourites no doubt about that.

Good. Another KO loss on the cards then

 

[Hasan123]

Good. Another KO loss on the cards then

Inshallah.

 

[ak619]

Obviously I want Pakistan to win in 2023, but a part of me also wants NZ to win, they need justice.

I also kinda feel that way now.

 

[Obaidd]

Congrats but the talent is drying up if Pant is your best.

 

[Sean143]

Congrats

 

[tyron_woodley]

lol there is immense talent in India. and yes icc will support the host nation. So not only are they a good team, they will also have the backing of icc. just like England do this time.
YES England had a lot of luck. Australia in 2015 too with some decision going in their favour.

eeees normal....

 

[tyron_woodley]

Congrats but the talent is drying up if Pant is your best.

pant is 20 and is already a good test player. only a matter of time before he explodes in odi. they have many others waiting in the ranks but grandpa's in the team aren't willing to leave.

 

[Sean143]

pant is 20 and is already a good test player. only a matter of time before he explodes in odi. they have many others waiting in the ranks but grandpa's in the team aren't willing to leave.

About to turn 22

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

I think Pakistan will win. Shaheen and Amir will be even better by then, Imad and haris will be crucial experienced players. Babar, imam and zafsr gohar will be rising Stars. Will be a great team

Don't forget Shadab!


& yeah, Pakistan could win it if we can handle the pressure passages.

 

[Rana]

Congratulations India.

Let’s just skip forward to 2027

 

[TalhaSyed]

Congratulations Kohli, The King of Chase*

*unless playing in an ICC ODI event knockout match

 

[DeadBall]

Congratulations India.

Let’s just skip forward to 2027

Hopefully it's in Pakistan. We are long overdue another World Cup title too. Hopefully Hafeez makes it come true.

 

[Syed1]

Congratulations India

 

[nextover666666]

Maybe India will win the World Cup but Pakistan will end the streak .....one can hope lol

 

[Dingolfy]

I agree on Dhoni being rubbish right now, but with him gone, India will lose a shrewd tactician on the field.

Kohli is not a good enough captain without Dhoni. Rohit is better.

He won a Test series in Australia without Dhoni which even our legendary players couldn’t. For the first time in our history, we are a great bowling team and that happened under him. We lost the Semi due to our poor batting and great bowling by Kiwis. They did the same to England today too.
He would do fine.

 

[Aman]

If there is a god and justice in this world, we'll win 2023, 2027 and 2031...

That heartbreak from this year and 2015 gotta lead somewhere...

Please let this inspire a new golden generation..

 

[Justcrazy]

You never know in the next who will play and who not . There is no gaurantee of anything.

 

[Revolution]

2023 will mega entertainment for us!!

World Cup + IPL together .. Massive audiences!! Tourism will rock.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

No, Pakistan will beat India in the final

 

[PakLFC]

England won it after their third appearance in the final. New Zealand will win the next World Cup if this pattern continues

 

[Chief Destroyer]

India will get spanked by Pakistan.

 

[Ahsanax]

If you think that CWC19 final was influenced by ICC/Big 3, brother you didn’t see the match!

 

[Jeetlodil]

NZ will lose to India. Jadeja will hit a 6 of the last ball of the super over to tie the score and India will win on number of boundaries

 

[Deewana]

This our chance now
we have to build our team as england did
we can't expect miracles , we need hardwork

Fakhar (needs to improve vs spin big time)
Sharjeel
Babar
Imam
Harris
Hard hitting batsman
Batting Allrounder
Spin bowling allrounder (Zafar gohar)
Shaheen
Nasim Shah
Amir / Harris rauf


With t20 wc in india and wc in india 2021 and 2023 respectively we have a massive chance of defeating india in a wc final in their home den.. given this Indian bottlers side we have a good chance.. what a site it would be

how is the mode in NZ
unlike Asians don't think you guys have such passion for circket... anywayd u love rugby alot more..
Won't lie here but i was afraid that maybe maybe any kiwi player would attemp something wrong.. thankfully didn't happen
but your boys must be shattered

Nz should have hosted the 2021 world t20 alone instead of india

A lot of people I've talked to feel robbed and are mad at the ICC. The news of it being 5 and not 6 will probably make them more angry.

 

[junaidji]

Is there gonna be a PSL in 2023? Since the World Cup is gonna be from February to March, which is usually when PSL is held.

 

[hitthestump]

You have the biggest population, the most money and resources. Now you have home advantage.

Knowing India though, they'll find a way to bottle it.

Pakistan will never beat india in a wc ,let alone win a world cup on indian soil.It would be a national disgrace.So if we do meet,expect a brutal spanking ,for the players know they would be playing for their careers.

I think it will. There was everything in this final beside that farce for an ending.

NZ deserve to lift the world cup once. Hopefully Williamson is there when it happens, he has played and captained beautifully this tournament. He was phenomenal in both the final and the semifinal at the death, planned it to perfection. And he had it done if not for that one in a million chance. He can play still play the next two technically.

Do you guys have any upcoming players who are any good, especially with Taylor probably not making it ahead to the next one?

Also for India there have to be a couple of spinners. Satner is a good bet but I don't see anyone else?

There is the the test championship too and I think NZ are serious contenders for that as well.

Will Young likely will replace Taylor. Sodhi will be a second spinner, he is young and has a lot of potential.

Seifort and Phillps are two others who will be given a lot of chances, then there's some U19 players like Finn Allen who may feature if they perform in domestic cricket.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

We will choke again in 2023. Even after playing 1000 IPL games per year our players can't play under pressure. Just goes to show the quality of cricket played in IPL.

 

[Captain caveman]

2011 won by the host
2015 won by the host
2019 won by the host
2023 will be won by the host

Never mind if we lost this time. We will win next time.

This is not a good thing, before 2011 wc, no home team had ever won the wc!
Looks like the big 3 are now tailoring wc victories for themselves!
In the end, no one else will want to play cricket and you three can play by yourselves!!!

 

[sindhiboy]

i think we may see a high scoring batter friendly world cup in 2023.

as a pper said recently, this current world cup is probably the best world cup we will see in a while, despite the washed out games.

 

[todfod 11]

congrates... will be a walk in the park for India.

 

[Napa]

I would say the chance of Pakistan beating India in 2023 (group game or knockout) is about about 1/3 (same as it was for the CT final and the 2019 group game). The streak cannot go on forever. Indians should enjoy it while it lasts. Pakistan has a set of promising young bowlers, it will be a good contest.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Well on our way

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I disagree. I had them as favourites for 2019 but I don't think they will make it past semis in 2023.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

I think all these T20 WCs aside. We need to build the team for the actual World Cup. Especially coz Kohli, the batsman he is, needs a World Cup to his name

 

[Colorblind Genius]

2011 won by the host
2015 won by the host
2019 won by the host
2023 will be won by the host

Never mind if we lost this time. We will win next time.

Which World Cup you are talking about? Kabaddi?

I don’t think I have often seen such a hopeless n disappointed fan after his team lost just one game.

But yes, some Indian tv host was very loud when he stated the fact in an angry tone that,
”India has only played just ONE game (and lost), while Pakistan has already reached the Semi finals.”

That must be worrisome and hurt heart bad.

 

[transparent opacity]

I think no Asian team will win the 2023 WC, it'll be either NZ or Australia.

 

[nextover666666]

India do have a good chance because their home team, and they are hard to beat at home, but that being said do not count out England, Pakistan, and New Zealand

 

[Aman]

I thought for sure they'd mess it up, but removing Kohli was a good move and IMO has improved their chances of winning in 2023.

If India do win, they'll look back at this moment being their defining moment. Kind of like us with and Taylor/McCullum.

 

[sam_ahm]

I still think it is a pathetic decision to hold this in October / November where dew will be a big factor as opposed to playing it in Feb/Mar as originally scheduled. Also cyclones and rain is always a factor in October.

1996, 2011 WC in Feb/Mar were absolutely brilliant. This is a stupid move.

Agree with this.

However I see where BCCI is coming from. October/November is festival season in India and they probably want to cash into that.

WC '87 was also organized in October/November months and it was brilliant.

Bingo. Removing that serial loser from captaincy role has given us some chance in future ICC events.

Next step is to get rid of seniority culture, back youngsters in key roles.

 

[Vocare Ad Regnum]

If India do win, they'll look back at this moment being their defining moment. Kind of like us with and Taylor/McCullum.

What defining moment?
We have won two world cups, two champions trophy and a t20 world cup.
There was a 24 years difference between 1983 and 2011, that can be considered a defining moment not the 23 world cup.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

WIth rohit sharma as a captain.... doubt it.

 

[PakLFC]

Methinks next years World Cup will be a victim of Covid. Guy's the situation in Australia is very bad at the moment. I just don't see this tournament going ahead next year or the Football World Cup. Nope, it is not looking good at all with these two biggies being cancelled.

"India's 'Favourites Tag' For 2023 World Cup 'Utter Nonsense'": Michael Vaughan
Ex-England captain Michael Vaughan doesn't feel Team India would be the 'favourites' for the 2023 ODI World Cup despite playing at home.

With the T20 World Cup 2022 now over, the focus shifts to the 2023 ODI World Cup which takes place in India next year. These are still early days but there are a few who suggest the Indian cricket team will be the favourites to go all the way as they will be playing at home in familiar conditions. Former England captain Michael Vaughan, however, isn't happy with this perception. Having seen England do wonders in Australia at the T20 World Cup, he feels Jos Buttler's men will head into the 50-over World Cup as the favourites.

The Indian team was considered among the favourites to go the distance in the T20 World Cup as well but they were hammered by England in the semi-finals. India's 10-wicket defeat was an eye-opener for many. Vaughan, in his column for the Telegraph, wrote that England will be the team to beat next year in the ODI World Cup.

"The next big ticket is to win the 50 over World Cup in India next year. They have good spin options and you have to put them down as favourites for that tournament as well. When the tournament starts people will have India as favourites on home soil. Utter nonsense. England will be the team to beat without any question and that is going to be the case for a few more years to come," he wrote in the column.

Vaughan also argued that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) should be looking at the England model if they want to succeed as a cricketing nation and win major titles again.

Listen to the latest songs, only on JioSaavn.com

"If I was running Indian cricket I would swallow my pride and look at England for inspiration.

"What English cricket has to make sure now is we are at the forefront of white-ball cricket for years. Young players are now coming into a group that has won so much that it should feed down the system. At the top of it all is Jos Buttler, World Cup-winning captain at the first attempt. That is huge for him," he has also written in the column.

[SpiritOf1903]

Congrats!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Vaughan didn't say anything wrong. Time to swallow pride and learn something from England. They don't have the richest cricket league in the world still they are winning trophies.

England revamped their LOI teams competely. They pick players who are suitable for a particular format. They don't try to force a player in the format. On the other hand non performers like Pant are still in the team. The only player who can match these English players in T20s is Sky. Rest of them are duds.

NDTV

Agreed. India are not favourites . We haven't been outright favourites in any of the recent tournaments

 

[SamNJ]

Vaughan is right. The only advantage India have is that it is in their home. Top order batters are on a decline while middle order doesn't look finalised enough, bowling attack isn't anywhere near the quality of 2019, fielding has regressed beyond the point of recovery.
It seems like finally the hosts winning the world cup will change.

 

[Mamoon]

If England can get Archer fit, they will be favorites. Archer, Wood, Curran, Woakes, Rashid is an excellent bowling unit to complement a wonderful batting lineup.
