[ad_1] India may not have had too much luck in winning ICC tournaments since 2013 but they have been a formidable side to face in bilateral series across formats in this period. Since they won the 2013 Champions Trophy, India have lost an ODI bilateral series, home or away, 13 times. They have lost just eight T20I series as well in Test cricket, apart from recording regular victories over sides like West Indies, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka home and away, they broke a glass ceiling by beating Australia at their home and then went on to repeat that feat despite facing seemingly insurmountable odds. They also drew a Test series in England, one that most commentators agree they would've won had the final Test not been postponed and had the final day of the first Test not been washed out. Most of the Indian players in the white ball teams would be playing in South Africa for the first time in their careers (PTI) Names like Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara have been the driving forces for India in this period, as were MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh to a certain extent, with the latter three retiring from the sport in this period. Among those still active in these names, Dhawan, Pujara and Rahane will be absent when India go tour South Africa starting on December 10. However, Kohli, Rohit and Bumrah will be there only for the Test series that starts on December 26 and it will be pretty much a new guard for India when they play the three ODIs and T20Is before that. Stay tuned with breaking news on HT Channel on Facebook. Join Now High standards to matchIt might be slightly inaccurate to consider the players who will feature in the white ball series as complete freshers but the fact remains that this will be the first time that most of them will be facing South Africa at their home, which is one of the great challenges in international cricket regardless of the format. There were doubts over whether South Africa are as competitive as they were in the previous years but Temba Bavuma's side put those thoughts to rest with the kind of performances they put in during the 2023 World Cup. In the T20I series, South Africa have largely gone with quite a few experienced candidates while India have retained much of the young side that played Australia recently in a five-match series. It means that Shubman Gill, himself playing in South Africa for the first time, could be the most experienced campaigner in their top order. Captain Suryakumar Yadav himself has just played one ODI in South Africa in his career and never faced them at their home in a T20, the format in which he is considered the best in the world. Rinku Singh's rising reputation as one of the most efficient finishers in the game will be put to test. The bowling lineup has some experience in the form of Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav. Kuldeep in particular was one of the architects of India's 5-1 victory in the 2018 series in South Africa, having taken 17 wickets and finished as the highest wicket-taker. It never really looked like India are devoid of their biggest stars in the series against Australia, although the fact remains that the opposition themselves had rested a number of their main players after the succesful World Cup campaign. With there still be uncertainty around whether the likes of Kohli or Rohit could play in the T20 World Cup next year, most players in the Indian squad for the South Africa tour can safely consider themselves to be contenders for a spot in the side that travels to the West Indies for the tournament. They have all proven themselves in the IPL and in the chances they have got to play for India but it won't be too much of a stretch to say that this upcoming tour could be their biggest litmus test.

Making history at the World Cup, Rohit Sharma is the only Indian to ever pull off this unusual feat

Rohit Sharma struck 50 or more ODI sixes in a calendar year, making him the first player from India and third overall.

Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, is playing brilliantly in the current ODI World Cup. On Sunday in Dharamsala, during India’s game against New Zealand, the seasoned opening batsman accomplished an uncommon achievement.

After hitting 50 or more ODI sixes in a calendar year, Rohit became the first player from India and the third overall. Only AB de Villiers of South Africa and legendary West Indies batsman Chris Gayle have hit or more maximums in a calendar year before Rohit. After smashing New Zealand pacer Matt Henry for a six in the second over of India’s 274-run chase, Rohit accomplished the feat.

Batters with 50 ODI sixes in a calendar year

58 – AB de Villiers (2015) 56 – Chris Gayle (2019) 53 – Rohit Sharma (2023)

Rohit scored a blistering 46 runs in the 12th over, but Lockie Ferguson removed him with India needing to reach a target of 274 runs.

“Very good tournament beginning. Half the job is done. It’s crucial to maintain balance. To avoid planning too far ahead. It’s critical to remain in the now. Shami seized the chance wholeheartedly. He is a skilled bowler and has expertise in these circumstances. We were looking at more than 300 at one point. We are proud of our back end bowlers. I’m having fun with my batting. Both are different personalities but we (Him and Gill) compliment each other.

Glad we came out on top. Very little to say. This is what Kohli has done for us for a very long time. He believed he could complete the task. We lost a couple of wickets in the middle, but Jadeja and Kohli got us back,” Rohit stated following the game. Earlier, in Sunday’s top-of-the-table match at Dharamsala, Daryl Mitchell struck a brilliant century to lead New Zealand to 273 all out against India. Following their invitation to bat first, New Zealand lost their opening pair early on, but Mitchell (130) and Rachin Ravindra (75) combined for 159 runs to turn the tide of the innings.

The two beat Sunil Gavaskar and Kris Srikkanth’s 1987 record of 136 to create the highest stand between the two nations at a World Cup for any wicket.

In his maiden tournament debut, Mohammed Shami, a fast bowler, recorded figures of 5-54 to help India rally in the last ten overs.

Despite Ravindra’s departure in the 34th over, Mitchell continued to push for his sixth tonne in an ODI.

Former all-rounder's significant statement, saying - calling India underdogs is wrong, we have won three World Cups

Yuvraj Singh, the hero of the 2011 World Cup, believes that Team India will definitely qualify for the semi-finals of the upcoming World Cup. Yuvraj Singh, who reached the Vicks Chair Anthem program for the upcoming global tournament, said that it is wrong to call Team India underdogs because India has won three World Cups.

Yuvraj Singh, the hero of the 2011 World Cup, believes that Team India will definitely qualify for the semi-finals of the upcoming World Cup. Yuvraj, who attended the Vicks Chair Anthem program for the upcoming global tournament, said that it is wrong to label Team India as underdogs; after all, we have won three World Cups. Sukant Saurabh had a special conversation with Yuvraj Singh about the upcoming World Cup, and here are the main points: Is there any particular area in the current Indian team that needs special attention? - I think our team had less game time; we haven't played many ODIs because T20 is more prevalent now. The good thing is that all the middle-order batsmen are in form. Surya Kumar Yadav is in form, Shreyas Iyer has returned to form, KL Rahul scored a century after recovering from an injury, Ishan Kishan has been performing consistently for a long time; this is a very positive sign. It's a headache for the captain and coach to decide who to play and who to bench. Jasprit Bumrah has made a comeback at the right time. So, I think our combination is good now. However, we need to prepare a balanced combination in the first two or three matches. We also need to see if we'll play an extra spinner or a fast bowler based on the pitch conditions. In the last three ODIs we played against Australia, all the pitches were flat. Will we see similar pitches in the World Cup? - I think we will see such pitches, and there will be high-scoring matches. Another thing is that grounds in India are relatively smaller. Now, with the new rule where five fielders are allowed inside the 30-yard circle and two new balls, it benefits the batsmen more. Certainly, all matches will be high-scoring, and in matches where there's a low score, I believe we have bowlers who can defend it. Since 2011, no country that has hosted the World Cup has become the champion. Can we continue what we started? - According to me, we shouldn't take that kind of pressure. If you want to win the World Cup, you have to defeat every team. You have to become the best team. If you look at the 1983 World Cup, we defeated the best team, West Indies. In 2011, if you see, we defeated the reigning champions, Australia. If you want to win this World Cup, you have to beat the best team. According to me, the semi-final will be a high-pressure game because this format is different. In that match, there will be pressure on a good team, and we have to win that pressure match. However, by the time we reach the semi-finals, we will have played 10-11 matches, so we will have enough game time. I have full confidence that Team India will qualify for the semi-finals. We haven't won an ICC trophy in the last 10 years. Our team is not becoming champions. What should Team India focus on in pressure matches? Read more : Yuzvendra Chahal Reacts to Being Left Out of the 2023 World Cup Squad - My view on this is entirely different. An underdog is someone who has never won a tournament and has lost in every pressure match. We are the team that has won three World Cups. We reached the final twice and lost once. Pakistan played exceptionally well that time, and there's no doubt about it. And when we lost to Australia in the Test Championship final this time, we had only four days of preparation after the IPL, whereas Australia had already played a Test match there. No one pays attention to these factors - how much time was available for preparation, how much game time the team had. There's no doubt that Australia played very well. I don't think we are underdogs. I'm not denying that we haven't won a major tournament in a long time, but no team has consistently performed like that. I understand that we are talking about Team India, but I believe our team has the capability to win big matches. In such global tournaments, how crucial are all-rounders in achieving victory? Who will be the X-factor for the team this time? - I believe that Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja will make significant contributions to the team this time. Their performance will be crucial to our team's success." Read the full article

Cricket World Cup

The One Day International (ODI) Cricket World Cup, once known as the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, is the sport's premier international tournament. Every four years, the International Cricket Council (ICC), the governing body of the sport, hosts the match, which consists of early qualification periods and a finals tournament. The competition is one of the most watched sporting events in the world and is referred to by the ICC as the "flagship event of the international cricket id calendar.

The first ODI cricket match had been played only four years before the first World Cup was held in England in June 1975. The qualification phase of the present organization selects which teams continue to the tournament phase, and it runs over the previous three years. Ten teams, including the host nation, which automatically is eligible compete for the championship over the course of around a month at locations in the host country. The format will be altered for the 2027 edition to enable an increased 14-team final competition.

(1975–1983) Prudential World Cups

England, the only country at the time with the resources to host an event of this number, hosted the first Cricket World Cup in 1975. On June 7, 1975, the race got underway.[20] The first three matches, named the State Cup after the sponsors National plc, were staged in England. The games were played in the usual daytime format with each team getting 60 six-ball overs. Players wore white cricket shirts and used red cricket balls.

The first tournament featured eight teams: Australia, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, and the West Indies (then the six Test nations), as well as Sri Lanka and an all- East African team. South Africa, which was excluded from playing international cricket due to racism in was one visible exclusion. The West Indies won the competition by beat Australia by a score of 17 runs in the championship match at Lord's.

Different champions (1987–1996)

The 1987 event was staged outside of England for the first time and was jointly hosted by India and Pakistan. Due to the shorter daylight hours in the Indian subcontinent than in England's summer, the games were shortened from 60 to 50 overs each innings, the current standard.[28] Up until the 2019 World Cup final between England and New Zealand, Australia's 7-run victory against England in the championship match was the tightest margin of victory in the World Cup final.

Technological Advancements

In order to improve decision-making's impartiality and precision, cricket has also adopted technology. Hawk-Eye and Decision Review System (DRS) technology have given the game a new dimension while decreasing controversy and improving the accuracy of umpire judgments.

The Future of Cricket

Cricket is changing and is now faced with new opportunities and problems. One example of how cricket id is still evolving and expanding is the growth of women's cricket, the drive for sustainability in the game, and innovations like day-night test matches.

Top-Rated Live Sports Events on Indian TV: July 28 – August 4, 2023

Cricket is the King!! Nothing new but when Indian Cricket team plays then the TVRs numbers go up exponentially. And when India played West Indies recently, even though aired on DD Network, the TVRs reigned supreme alongside the average viewing time as well. Fans spent more than 22 mins per session in each of the 3 ODIs and a T20 match. For those who are not sure about the #2 Sport on Indian TV, let me tell you that WWE has ruled the game for years and Sony Pictures Networks India has been using it very effectively for their network. With more than 26 mins average session time, it is great value for money. Disney+ Hotstar has been holding the top position for some time when it comes to Cricket programming. Now it has challengers so they are looking at smaller or newer T20 leagues to boost its programming. LPL, GT20 Canada and Sher-e-Punjab are the new additions to their portfolio. Although the viewing time is far lesser as compared to International Cricket but still it gives Star Sports some leverage to add programs to the top list. But recently concluded Ashes series and newbie The Hundred are clearly showing how top quality Cricket and classy production still draws more eyeballs than anything else. Viewing session of more than 22 & 26 mins respectively, both the series are comparable to Indian cricket on that count. Heartening to see Football fans have picked Old horse Durand Cup and new found love for FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023™ . Will soon share the full event standings of these two for more detailed conversation later. New born MLC and Zim Afro T10 leagues had a few takers but worse was the time spent by each viewer. Ofcourse MLC is targeted for US local market and non-prime time in India, it still had a good start but other #Cricket leagues will have to do some out of the box thinking to make their business model work. Lastly but lovingly, I must congratulate Pro Panja League for having a good start and made it to the top 6 events beating some other Cricket programs in the week. The session time may be short but that’s perhaps to do with the format of the sport but I am sure the organisers would look at the ways to improve on that count. I will posting updates on the “Top Sports Events (Live) on Indian TV” and will invite discussions with experts on their views about the same. #tv #viewers #sports #football #fifawwc #ashes2023 #hundred #indiancricket

Indian captain list with year

Indian captain stands out as a notable one who has led the team to glory in the World Cup. The Indian cricket team is a two-time world champion. In addition to winning the 1983 Cricket World Cup, India was also the first country to win the Cricket World Cup on home soil in 2011.

The Indian cricket team has a rich history in the World Cup, and over the years, it has produced some exceptional leaders who have led the team to glory. Let's take a look at the Indian captain list in the World Cup: S. No.Indian Cricket Captain in World CupYear1Srinivas Venkataraghavan19752Srinivas Venkataraghavan19793Kapil Dev19834Kapil Dev19875Mohammad Azharuddin19926Mohammad Azharuddin19967Mohammad Azharuddin19998Sourav Ganguly20039Rahul Dravid200710Mahendra Singh Dhoni201111Mahendra Singh Dhoni201512Virat Kohli2019Indian cricket team captain list with year S Venkataraghavan 1975, 1979

S Venkataraghavan was the first Indian captain to lead the team in the World Cup. He captained the side in the 1975 and 1979 editions of the tournament. In 1975, India failed to progress beyond the group stage, but in 1979, they reached the second round before being knocked out. An off-spin bowler, he was one of the famed Indian quartet of spin bowlers in the 1970s (the others being Bhagwat Chandrasekhar, Bishan Singh Bedi, and Erapalli Prasanna). He was also a useful tail-end batsman and strong at close fielding. Venkat came on to the Test scene at the age of 20 when he was selected to play against the touring New Zealand side. By the end of the series, he had emerged as a world-class spinner, taking 12 wickets in the Delhi test that led India to victory. He was the vice-captain of the Indian team that toured the West Indies and England in 1970–71. India won both series. Venkat played an important role, claiming five wickets in the Trinidad Test and 13 wickets in the three Tests in England. He captained India in both the 1975 and 1979 World Cup competitions. He also led India in a four-Test series against England in 1979. In domestic cricket, he led South Zone and Tamil Nadu for over a decade. Venkat retired from first-class cricket in 1985. He became a cricket administrator and managed the Indian Test side. He was honored with the Padma Shri in 2003. Kapil Dev 1983, 1987

Kapil Dev is one of the most iconic Indian cricketers of all time, and he led India to its first-ever World Cup triumph in 1983. Under his captaincy, India stunned the cricketing world by beating the mighty West Indies in the final. Kapil Dev also captained India in the 1987 World Cup, but the team failed to progress beyond the semi-finals. Kapil Dev became the first Indian captain to win the Cricket World Cup and is still the youngest captain (at the age of 24) to win the World Cup for any team. He retired in 1994, at the time of holding the world record for the highest number of wickets taken in Test cricket, a record subsequently broken by Courtney Walsh in 2000. At the time, he was also India's highest wicket-taker in both major forms of cricket, Tests, and ODIs. He is the first player to take 200 ODI wickets. He is the only player in the history of cricket to have taken more than 400 wickets (434 wickets) and scored more than 5,000 runs in Tests, making him one of the greatest all-rounders in the history of cricket. Kapil Dev's all-around performance has been praised by cricketers including Sunil Gavaskar who regards him as one of the greatest all-rounders to play the game. He was the coach of the Indian national team between September 1999 and September 2000. On 11 March 2010, Kapil Dev was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame. In 1982 awarded the Padma Shri and in 1991 the Padma Bhushan. M Azharuddin 1992, 1996, 1999

Mohammad Azharuddin was one of the most successful Indian captains in the World Cup. He led the team in three consecutive editions of the tournament - 1992, 1996, and 1999. India reached the semi-finals in 1996 and 1999 under his captaincy but failed to progress beyond the group stage in 1992. Azharuddin was known for his wristy strokeplay, much like Indian cricketer Gundappa Viswanath and Pakistani cricketer Zaheer Abbas. He made his debut for the Indian cricket team in Test cricket in 1984 against England at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on 31 December 1984, where he scored 110 in his first innings from 322 deliveries, alongside Ravi Shastri who scored 111, in what was ultimately a drawn match. He subsequently scored two more centuries in his next two Test matches. He scored 121 against England at Lord's in 1990. India was faced with the prospect of a follow-on when Azharuddin came in to bat at number five and scored his hundred off 88 balls in a losing cause. Former England cricketer Vic Marks called it "the most dazzling Test century" he had ever witnessed, in his column for The Observer. In the Second Test in Manchester, Azharuddin made 179 in reply to England's first-innings total of 519. Playing attacking cricket, he made 103 runs off 107 balls between lunch and tea on day three, while putting on a 112-run stand with Sachin Tendulkar. Playing his 39th Test, he reached his 10th Test century off 155 balls. The match ended in a draw. Azharuddin ended the series with 426 runs at 85.20. This tally was the highest by an Asian captain in a Test series in England until 2018 when it was broken by Virat Kohli. Sourav Ganguly 2003

Sourav Ganguly is one of the most successful Indian captains of all time, and he led the team to the final of the 2003 World Cup. India eventually lost to Australia in the final, but Ganguly's leadership played a key role in India's success in that tournament. Ganguly was awarded the Padma Shri in 2004. He was awarded with the Banga Bibhushan Award from the Government of West Bengal in 2013. Along with Harshavardhan Neotia, Sanjiv Goenka, and Utsav Parekh, Ganguly is also the co-owner of Atlético de Kolkata, a franchise of the Indian Super League, which won the inaugural season in 2014. He was also the brand ambassador of I-League side Mohammedan Sporting. Ganguly was elected as a president of the BCCI in 2019 and President of the editorial board with Wisden India. Before being elected as the President of BCCI, he was the President of the Cricket Association of Bengal, governing body for cricket in West Bengal, India. He is currently a part of the Supreme Court of India appointed Justice Mudgal Committee probe panel for the IPL Spot fixing and betting scandal's investigations. Rahul Dravid 2007

Rahul Dravid is one of the greatest batsmen to have ever played for India, and he also captained the team in the 2007 World Cup. India, however, had a disappointing campaign and was knocked out in the group stage. As of January 2022, Dravid is the fourth-highest run scorer in Test cricket, after Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, and Jacques Kallis. In 2004, after completing his century against Bangladesh in Chittagong, he became the first player to score a century in all ten Test-playing countries (now 12). As of October 2012, he holds the record for the most catches taken by a player (non-wicket-keeper) in Test cricket, with 210. Dravid holds a unique record of never getting out for a Golden Duck in the 286 Test innings which he has played. He has faced 31258 balls, which is the highest number of balls faced by any player in test cricket. He has also spent 44152 minutes at the crease, which is the highest time spent on the crease by any player in test cricket. Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar are currently the highest-scoring partnership in Test cricket history having scored 6920 runs combined when batting together for India. MS Dhoni 2011, 2015

MS Dhoni is one of the most successful Indian captains of all time, and he led the team to World Cup glory in 2011. India beat Sri Lanka in the final to win their second World Cup title. Dhoni also captained India in the 2015 World Cup, but the team failed to progress beyond the semi-finals. Dhoni made his ODI debut on 23 December 2004, against Bangladesh in Chittagong, and played his first Test a year later against Sri Lanka. He played his first T20I also a year later against South Africa. In 2007, he took over the ODI captaincy from Rahul Dravid and he was also selected as T20I captain of India this year. In 2008, he was selected as Test captain. His captaincy record in the Tests format was mixed, successfully leading India to a series win against New Zealand in 2008 and the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (home series in 2010 and 2013) against Australia while losing to Sri Lanka, Australia, England, and South Africa by big margins in away conditions. Dhoni received India's highest sports honor, the Major Dhyanchand Khel Ratna Award in 2008 for his outstanding achievements and the Government of India honored him with India's fourth civilian award Padma Shri in 2009 and third civilian award Padma Bhushan in 2018. He is the only cricket captain in the world to win all three of the Cricket World Cup, ICC Men's T20 World Cup, and ICC Champions Trophy. Dhoni holds the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Parachute Regiment of the Indian Territorial Army, it was presented to him by the Indian Army in 2011 for his service to the nation as a cricketer. Dhoni is considered one of the most popular crickets in the world. He is a leading brand endorser celebrity in India. Virat Kohli 2019

Virat Kohli led the team in the 2019 World Cup. India had a great campaign, finishing top of the group stage, but was knocked out in the semi-finals by New Zealand. He has received many accolades for his performances on the cricket field. He was recognized as the ICC ODI Player of the Year in 2012 and has won the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy, given to the ICC Cricketer of the Year, on two occasions, in 2017 and 2018 respectively. Subsequently in 2012, Kohli was the highest run scorer in the 2012 Asia Cup at 357 runs. Kohli also won the ICC Test Player of the Year and ICC ODI Player of the Year awards in 2018, becoming the first player to win both awards in the same year. Additionally, he was named the Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World for three consecutive years, from 2016 to 2018. At the national level, Kohli was honored with the Arjuna Award in 2013, the Padma Shri under the sports category in 2017, and the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award, India's highest sporting honor, in 2018. In conclusion, the Indian cricket team has been blessed with some exceptional leaders over the years, and each of them has left their mark on the World Cup. The current captain, Virat Kohli, will be hoping to lead India to their third World Cup title in the upcoming tournament in 2023. To read more blogs - Click Here Read the full article

[ad_1] After winning the first two World Cups in the 1970s, West Indies were an ODI side to be feared. With their explosive batting line-up and sizzling pace attack, in the 1980s the Caribbean team were more unbeatable at home than any other side in any other decade of one-day international cricket history, winning 89% of their matches on home soil. South Africa hit the ground running when they joined the 50-over format in 1991 and won 69% of the games they hosted in the 1990s. This century, Australia have consistently been the side to beat at home with India and New Zealand also improving their home record decade by decade. PREMIUM India's Ravindra Jadeja celebrates with teammates the wicket of Australia's batter Alex Carey during the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup match between India and Australia(PTI) But is it just down to home advantage or is a great team great wherever they are? When West Indies were beating everyone in their backyard forty years ago, they were also spoiling the summers of home fans wherever they went in the world, winning 71% of the time they were away from home; because they were just a formidable side at that time and the venue they played at didn’t change the fact that they were highly likely to win an ODI encounter. As cricket has evolved there are numerous aspects that have come into the game that could lessen the theory of home advantage. For example, data, video analysis, live broadcast coverage, physiology training for different climates and altitudes; but putting all this theory based knowledge to one side, in the more recent years in the era of a rapidly expanding franchise cricket calendar, top players are not only learning about playing in different continents from spreadsheets and videos, but are out there experiencing the conditions first hand, playing cricket all over the world, all around the year. Albeit in the shorter format, players are continuously adapting their batting and bowling skills in different conditions, both with and against the other best players in the world. The Indian Premier League (IPL) had led the way in this by offering players an opportunity to play at all the major grounds in India for up to two months of the year. With the exponential growth of the world wide T20 franchise programme, and there being fewer ‘secrets’ and surprises in the modern cricketing world over what a player or team will be facing away from home, there must come a time when the home advantage will be considerably diluted compared to when players would only experience a country’s conditions once every three or four years when they toured the nation. This Australian World Cup squad alone has more than 500 IPL appearances, with Warner, Maxwell and Smith all playing over 100 IPL games each. However, that theory doesn’t seem to have yet transferred into the 50-over game. The home teams’ superior form in the longer format is still very much apparent, and the last three World Cups have proved this with the hosts lifting the trophy. So, unlike the almost impenetrable West Indies side of the 1980s, the most dominant ODI teams of this century have been more comfortable playing at home. India, New Zealand and Australia have continued to improve their home ODI performances over time with the current World Cup hosts winning 19 of their last 25 ODI matches in India, whilst their away record has plateaued, or significantly decreased. With regards to this World Cup, there is only one host and with India being one of the most experienced in the tournament, they are considered by many to be the favourites. They will be looking to continue the recent pattern of the host country emerging champions. However, once the 45-game group stage is complete, anything can happen in the knockouts as India will know all too well, having been knocked out at the semi-final stage of the last two World Cups. New Zealand and Australia will be desperate to upset the script and have travelled to the World Cup with a highly experienced and talented squad full of players who know how to win ODIs. England, despite their poor form in India recently (33% win in the last decade) and the huge defeat in the opening game at Ahmedabad on Thursday, are the champions to be dethroned. South Africa should also be a team to keep an eye on, because despite their injury issues and replacements since they announced their original 15-man squad, they have the best win percent record in the longest white-ball format of all visiting sides in India in the last decade, coming out as victors in 62% of the fixtures.

The slow, painful death of Test Cricket

The World Test Championship was meant to be the pinnacle of Test cricket, the final being the premier event of the format in line with the ODI and T20 World Cups, instead, it has shown the cricket world something it already knew. The long form was dying.

Of the nine countries eligible to compete for the 2021-2023 Championship six play between 12 and 15 tests, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh with 12, West Indies (an amalgamation of Caribbean countries) and current World Test Champions New Zealand with 13, Pakistan with 14, and South Africa with 15. The other 3, Australia, India, and England will play 19, 18, and 22 Tests respectively. Now while the league table is decided on the percentage of points won, this discrepancy between the number of tests played shows, as recently as just completed test series between Australia and South Africa.

On paper, this series was meant to be an amazing one. South Africa had won their last 3 Test Tours of Australia, and was second on the Test Championship table, with Australia in first. Two of the best bowling units going toe to toe this was an exciting series, especially after the dismal performance of the West Indies in their tour the month prior In reality rain in Sydney was the only thing that saved South Africa from being completely whitewashed after they lost in Brisbane and Melbourne.

Traditionally Australian pitches have been batter friendly, but of the 6 times they went bat, South Africa was bowled out 5 times, Australia batted 4 times, and was bowled out once. an utterly disproportionate amount with what should be the two best teams with some of the better bowling attacks in the world.

But it gets worse. Before South Africa toured, the West Indies did, losing both tests, the last of which by 419 runs, the West Indies then travelled to Zimbabwe, a team not competing in the World Test Championship, for a two series, drawing the first test, and then beating Zimbabwe without having to bat a second time inside 3 days. Both tests Australia have played so far in India this tour have been similar too, but this time, in favour of India.

Teams not playing a lot of tests begins to make sense when all that seems to be happening is they tour just to get comprehensively beaten and go home, and with the advent of domestic T20 leagues around the globe paying players up to 1 million AUD for 6 weeks work, why bother focusing on the longest form if glory is only going to come at home.
