It could be fear of failure among the country’s elite batters that led to India’s global title drought between 2011 and 2024, T20 World Cup-winning former skipper Rohit Sharma said on Friday.
“The last [ODI] World Cup we won was in 2011, and then we won again [T20 World Cup] in 2024. That’s 13 years. Yes, we did win the Champions Trophy in 2013, so technically it was an 11-year ICC trophy drought. But 11 years is still a long time,” one of India’s greatest captains said.
“We always believed that we had to keep doing the right things, and we did keep doing the right things. Unfortunately, something was missing. There was something we weren’t able to do. I felt it might have been a fear of failure creeping into all of us, maybe yes, maybe not, I don’t know, but that was my feeling,” he added.
