For the third time in its history, India has the honor of hosting the ICC Cricket World Cup. As the host nation and one of the cricketing powerhouses, India enters the tournament as one of the favorites to lift the coveted trophy. India’s World Cup campaign kicks off on October 5, 2023, against Australia at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Rohit Sharma will lead the charge for the Indian cricket team. His leadership abilities, combined with his batting skills, make him a formidable captain. This World Cup will most likely be Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s final World Cup, so both superstars want to end the tournament on a high note.
