India was to host the 2021 T20 World Cup
India was to host the 2021 T20 World Cup. At that time Sourav Ganguly was the President of BCCI. Due to Corona, the World Cup had to be shifted from India to UAE. In the T20 World Cup, Team India played under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, then the Indian team had to be eliminated from the league stage itself. For the first time that year, Team India lost the match against Pakistan in the ICC tournament.
This time Team India would like to end the drought of ICC Trophy
Significantly, Team India recently lost the final of the ICC World Test Championship against Australia. The Indian team won the last ICC trophy in the form of Champions Trophy in 2013 under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Now after almost 10 years, the Indian team would like to end the wait for the ICC Trophy on home soil.
