India Cricket: Virat Kohli and Team Determined to Win ODI World Cup
Introduction
NEW DELHI: Eager to end their 12-year-long wait for the ODI World Cup title, star India batter Virat Kohli on
Monday revealed his and teammates’ determination to once again transform the aspirations of fans into
reality.
India’s World Cup Journey
The Men in Blue have clinched the prestigious World Cup title twice, the most recent in 2011 when the tournament
was hosted by India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka together. Under legendary MS Dhoni, India secured a memorable win
in the final, defeating Sri Lanka by 6 wickets at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Despite coming close in
the 2015 and 2019 editions held in Australia-New Zealand and England, the title has eluded the team.
Determination to Win
Kohli now stands poised and determined to break the drought and bring home the title once more. “The passion and
unwavering support of our fans is what fuels our determination to win the World Cup,” Kohli told Star Sports.
“The memories of past World Cup victories, especially the iconic 2011 win, are etched in our hearts, and we want
to create new memories for our fans. I am thrilled to be a part of this incredible campaign, which perfectly
captures the emotions of our fans, and we’re ready to give it our all to make their dreams come true,” he
added.
Support of the Fans
Kohli’s thoughts were echoed by all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. “As a cricketer, there’s nothing more motivating
than knowing that millions of fans are standing behind you, cheering for your success,” he said. “This campaign
reflects the deep passion and obsession of our fans to see Team India win. It’s a journey we’re embarking on
together with the entire nation, and we’re determined to make our fans proud with our performances on the
field.”
