Former India captain MS Dhoni has expressed that the Team India led by Rohit Sharma in the 2023 World Cup is very strong. Although he didn’t directly answer a question about India’s chances of winning the trophy, he indicated that they have the potential to go all the way.
India is the only unbeaten team in the 2023 World Cup. They began with a six-wicket victory over Australia in Chennai and have since won matches against Afghanistan (by 8 wickets), Pakistan (by 7 wickets), Bangladesh (by 7 wickets), and New Zealand (by 4 wickets).
India’s victory against New Zealand marked their first win over them in ICC events since 2003. Many experts believe that Team India is the top choice to win the 2023 World Cup. When questioned about this at an event on Thursday, Dhoni responded:
“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).”
