Former Indian batter Mohammad Kaif feels that Indian skipper Rohit Sharma will be extra motivated to win the cup, which is scheduled to be held in the USA and West Indies from June 1 to June 29.
Kaif feels that Rohit would know that it’s his last chance to win an ICC trophy for Team India. Kaif feels that this World Cup is also an opportunity for Rohit Sharma to make up for the loss of the ICC one-day World Cup.
In his interaction with Star Sports, Mohammad Kaif said, “Rohit Sharma knows that he will not be playing cricket for more than 2–3 years. Even Virat Kohli is on the same path. It’s a big chance for skipper Rohit Sharma.”
Kaif said, “Rohit lost the Odi World Cup and was completely heartbroken. Fans were heartbroken. I hope this doesn’t repeat in the T20 World Cup. It’s only a couple of big matches.”
Kaif feels that Team India will find it quite easy throughout the league stage; however, the main challenge for them will be the semi-finals and finals.
Team India is set to begin their World Cup campaign against Ireland on June 5 in New York.
