It was in 2013 that India last won an ICC Trophy. Ever since MS Dhoni and his team lifted the ICC Champions Trophy in England, India have waited for 11 years to lay their hands on the next ICC silverware, but all they’ve copped are disappointments and missed opportunities. In the last decade, India have lost four World Cup semifinals and two finals, to go with a defeat in the 2017 Champions Trophy final and back-to-back World Test Championships. Captains have come and gone, as have coaches, but the one thing that has remained constant is India’s empty Trophy cabinet.
Last year, India had their best chance to end the wait when they played the World Cup at home, only for the dream to be shattered by Australia in the final. Nonetheless, it’s another year, and another World Cup beckons, but this time, to ensure Team India returns from the USA and West Indies victorious, former batter Navjot Singh Sidhu has an advice for Rahul Dravid. Sidhu, Dravid’s former India teammate, has warned the head coach against making compromises and urged The Wall to stick with five specialist bowlers – two spinners and three pacers or vice-versa according to the conditions – in the Playing XI come what may.
