Team India won two consecutive victories against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy under the captaincy of Rohit, who replaced Virat Kohli in the Test last year. India is ahead 2-0 in the series. The third Test match will be played in Indore from March 1.

The Indian team is close to reaching the final of the World Test Championship. He is looking for just one win in the remaining two Test matches. Gavaskar wants Rohit Sharma to lift the trophy in the final to be held in June. Team India had lost in the final of the World Test Championship last time. India is also going to host the ODI World Cup later this year.

Waiting for ICC Trophy Since 2013

After 2011, Team India is failing in two World Cups. In 2015 and 2019, he was defeated in the semi-finals. At the same time, after the 2013 Champions Trophy, India could not win a single ICC tournament. He was also defeated in the 2014, 2016, 2021 and 2022 T20 World Cups. Gavaskar says that everyone’s dream will come true if the Indian team wins the ODI World Cup along with the Test Championship.

What did Gavaskar Say?

Gavaskar said in an interview, “When you see a champion being honoured, you want to be like that too. When your athletes are improving at their best, that’s when you know everything is on track. There are two titles that I want the Indian men’s team to win – the World Test Championship and the ODI World Cup. Of course there is the Asia Cup between these two. If he comes back to India, nothing good will come of it.
