However, he feels that the Team India captain deserves to win the T20 World Cup and hopes that the trophy will return to the subcontinent i.e. Asia. Shoaib Akhtar has said these things in a video on his YouTube channel, let’s see what he said- “Well done India, this is your World Cup now. You should win it and the World Cup should stay in the subcontinent. You should have won the last World Cup and you have to win this World Cup too. You deserve it 100 per cent. My support is with you. Rohit’s intentions are good and his conscience is clear that he deserves to lift the trophy.” “What a great win for India against Australia. They lost the World Cup which they should have won and they were going through depression. They lost the final to Australia and that depression turned into obsession. They wanted to hit back at Australia and that is what they did.” India has to take another revenge Team India had to face defeat against England in the semi-final match of T20 World Cup 2022. Team India’s performance was excellent in that edition too, but they could not reach the final. Rohit Sharma and the rest of the team will definitely be looking to take this revenge in this semi-final match. By defeating the defending champions England, their revenge will be complete and the way to the final will open.

Royal Challengers Bangalore is one of the most famous franchise teams in the world. RCB has reached the IPL finals thrice, but the team has not been able to win the trophy even once. Faf du Plessis has been leading the team for the last two seasons after leaving the captaincy of Virat Kohli. Last season the team had a mixed bag, RCB was able to win 7 out of 14 matches. This season the team would like to win the trophy by showing excellent performance. RCB’s batting lineup for IPL 2024 looks great, but experts are constantly giving their views regarding the bowling attack. Meanwhile, former Indian veteran player Irfan Pathan believes that Royal Challengers Bangalore can win the first IPL title this season on the basis of its strong bowling attack. IPL 2024: they have express speed– Irfan Pathan Former Indian player Irfan Pathan became a part of Star Sports’ show Game Plan. During the show, Irfan Pathan while talking about the chances of RCB and Virat Kohli winning the first IPL title this year, said, ‘Now he (Virat Kohli) has got a team, as far as batting is concerned, I really feel that batting has become longer now, which was not the case some time ago. Irfan Pathan further said, ‘Many people are not giving a chance to RCB because they feel that their bowling is not the same as before. I also think the bowling could have been better, but what they did is that they have express pace on that pitch. If you can bowl 140+ consistently on flat pitches like the Chinnaswamy pitch, sometimes it can work. You might be surprised that this bowling unit can lift a trophy. This will be a very special moment for Virat Kohli because he was wanting this since 2008 but he could not touch that trophy.
