India captain Rohit Sharma says injuries and luck have extended their wait for a first ICC title in a decade. And the big question is: What’s the final piece of jigsaw that would enable them to avoid slipping right before the final hurdle? As per Rohit, there are two.

Rohit told reporters a day before his team takes on WI in the first match of a two-Test series –

“Firstly, I want everyone to be available. All my players who are there, I want them to be available 100 percent. I don’t want any injury concerns. That’s first and the foremost.”

India were without Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul for the WTC final with each undergoing rehabilitation for various fitness concerns.

Rohit added – “The second thing is, we haven’t crossed the line for a long time but I feel that as long as you keep ticking the boxes, keep playing good cricket, things will fall into place. Over the years, we have done a lot of good things.

“It’s just that sometimes you want luck to be on your side as well. If you look over last five-six years, we have played consistent cricket, have probably won everywhere. But yes, winning championships are important as well. Until, we get that championship, we are going to keep fighting hard for it.”
