Team India registered a dominating win over South Africa on Sunday. Rohit Sharma-led men extended their unbeaten record to eight matches at the ICC World Cup 2023, finishing first in the round-robin phase. With a win against the Netherlands, India can maintain its unbeaten record. India will play the Netherlands on November 12, Sunday.

With India preparing to enter the 50-over semi-finals, batting icon Sunil Gavaskar reminisced on the country’s outstanding league campaign. Batting icon Sunil Gavaskar believes Rohit Sharma’s Team India is the best team in the ICC World Cup. Under Rohit’s leadership, India defeated Australia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, New Zealand, England, Sri Lanka, and South Africa in the ICC tournament’s round-robin round. You want to be the champions, you want to make sure that you win big, the legendary opener said.

You want to show that you are the best team in the competition by a long distance, and that’s exactly what the Indian team is doing at the moment. There is a match against the Netherlands which might be inconsequential because India is only now number one. But they don’t want to stumble anywhere once it comes to the knock-out stages, he added.

The whole temperament, your whole mental attitude towards the match will change because in the group stage you always think, oh, there’s another match to come. But there is no next day if you have a bad day in the knockouts. So, you want to get into that winning rhythm. You want to get into that winning mentality, and that’s what the Indian team is doing, Gavaskar concluded.
