India has been unstoppable in the Cricket World Cup 2023. Their recent four-wicket victory over New Zealand in Dharamshala solidified their winning trend. The team, led by Rohit Sharma, is showcasing exceptional form and composure, making them strong contenders in the tournament.
After a week off following the New Zealand game, the Indian cricket team decided to make a unique choice. Instead of immediately traveling to the next venue, they have opted to stay in the tranquil surroundings of Dharamshala for two days. This departure from the usual routine offers the players a chance to rejuvenate and enjoy the Himalayan beauty.
The decision to stay back in Dharamshala is a well-deserved rest for the players. It was initially reported that players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and KL Rahul would fly back home to meet their families. However, they have collectively decided to savor the serene Himalayan city.
“The team will not travel today and will stay back in Dharamsala for two days. They will be resting before preparations for the next game in Lucknow begin,” a BCCI official who is familiar with the team’s schedule informs News18.
The brief hiatus is particularly beneficial for captain Rohit Sharma. Leading the team demands continuous focus and energy. These couple of days off will provide him with the opportunity to unwind and recharge.
The Indian team management has meticulously planned practice sessions, taking into account the demanding travel schedules and workload management, especially for the fast bowlers. This attention to detail ensures that the players are in prime condition for the upcoming critical games.

Veteran players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma may find this break advantageous. The physical and mental respite will allow them to return to the game with renewed vigor and clarity.
India’s performance in the World Cup 2023 has been remarkable. They have successfully chased down targets in all five of their games. A standout moment was when they pursued and achieved New Zealand’s formidable target of 274 runs on October 22 in Dharamshala. Captain Rohit Sharma’s performance has been central to their success. With a strike rate of 133.48, he has accumulated 311 runs in five innings, making him a dominant force at the top of the order.
