Roughly six months left before the blockbuster 2023 World Cup kicks off in India. England will be heading into the contest as the defending champions, having won the 2019 edition of the tournament at home. New Zealand, who were the runners up, will be among the top contenders as well along with five-time champions Australia. But all eyes will be on the Rohit Sharma-led side, who have been touted to emulate what MS Dhoni and his men had done 12 years back. But former England captain Michael Vaughan has blasted the Indian side with “underachieving” tag and hinted at snubbing them from the title favourite list
Dhoni-led side had started a trend in ODI World Cups. Since 2011, home teams have lifted the trophy with Australia in 2015 and England in 2019. This would indicate that India could complete circle with their third World Cup trophy win later in October this year
