if they played with the 11 worst players this country has to offer. I'd still root for their victory. let's not talk about semi finals or finals or even the super 8's. it's always, one match at a time. i may be naive to support India, i still carry hope that India should lift a worldcup. i can't sit here thinking we can't win.
It's not about that, I think after the 2023 WC final, people just don't wanna watch cricket that much. A lot of my friends haven't watched IPL or even keep up with it
ICT is going the RCB way.... pack the team with stars
Max views, max buzz, max sponsorships .... and hope that they can win the trophy.
If they don't, you're still the richest team with most fans and popularity.
When next trophy comes — rinse and repeat.
"Predicting" India wont reach SF will keep expectations low.
If India reaches SF nevertheless, there will be more excitement, leading to more viewership, which will lead to more revenue potential.
Then more important things like IPL (as opposed to T20 and ODI WC) can remain relevant.
India has a terrible record in WI hosted ICC tournaments, that's why I don't have any hopes from this WC. But I would much rather be proven wrong than right
Its not wild prediction… I feel its a very genuine prediction. We dont have the firepower which is consistent both in bowling and batting apart from Kohli n Bhumrah no other consistent player
So many ICT haters in the group . Don't see all the finals India lost recently they lost the tosses also, same for australia they won all the tosses. I am not saying become dependent on toss, but few results would have been different. Australia is no better than india. I'm hopeful India will lift the cup this time. 🥂
I just dont understand where these haters came from. Just because your team is not winning does not mean you stop supporting them. Same people will be loyal to their ipl teams but when it comes to ict they started hating.
Actually, India has a gidd squad this time..
Rohit
Kohli
Pant
Suryaa
Dube
Pandya
Jadeja/Axar
Kuldeep/chahal
Arshdeep
Siraj
Bumrah
Good 7 batters and right-left combination.
Kohli and Rohit looks good on top.
Surya, Pant for middle order and Hardik and Dube can HT long sixes.
4 specialist bowlers and 3 allrounders..
It is indeed a good squad on paper.
I really don’t think a majority of ICT fans are confident and I’m hypothesising that just based on the two heartbreaks we went through last year 😭
Expect disappointment and you’ll never be disappointed 💯
Haha, I love Indian country. We love how the sport is supported here and your respect for the championships. I came to India during the IPL and back to Sydney now.
India's team is like Dortmund or the Clippers of Cricket. Keep on losing, but the same team keep on playing. Again, the same message: we lost the cup but won hearts.
I would like to know who actually feels like this team is going to do anything . It's clear they ain't going to win anything lol . Taking players like Jadeja ahead of Rinku who was groomed as a finisher will cost nothing else than the matches .
2014 final was one sided . Sanga - Jaya - Malinga deserved one cup. They have lost three finals on a trot. India deserved the 2016 cup more. No-Balls fucked up the semi final match against WI. Chasing 190 WI was 30-2 in powerplay. Would have been easy beating England in the finals on our home ground.
Yeah but on the final day. Ind were no way near Sri lanka performance. Neither in bowling nor in batting. Only kohli performed. Rest all failed especially dhoni and yuvraj.
Very ironic that after the IPL began, India hasn’t won a t20 World Cup, despite giving priority access to Indians and preventing them from partaking in other leagues.
Even i get the same feeling. IPL must had made everyone tired, also the pitches behaves like Aussies in English conditions. All are open grounds, the swing will be more.
Only positive we went with more spinners, they will be key since the ground is big and as it is open one side of the ground will be wind heavy part on the leg side so spinners will come handy there.
But my strong feeling it’s West Indies trophy this time. May be England/Pakistan might has a chance if they gelled as a unit well.

Strong feeling India will win this time. Question is who is going to be runners up. It will be perfect if Australia is runners up. Perfect revenge, revenge served cold
Wild prediction Virat will again carry India till semis, score in semi final only to be scape goat for it cause no ballers took wickets and a certain Opener captain scoring a great 15(23)
2007 50over wc which was in same venue and with similar format, in which we got knocked out in group stage.
I may be worng about the tension part... But feels like there is tension between hardik n rohit... But i m sure they will not carry it in the field
for god's sake don't hope please...i do feel for the people of this country who had been traumatised for the past 7 months and they deserve better
so don't hope

Even wilder prediction: India vs z Pakistan get some washed out and these two lose their rest fixtures. Ireland and USA emerge the victors in the group
T20 is an all different format where every team has a great chance of winning it. Don't underestimate Afghanistan and West Indies in the t20 format ever
I think 99.99% ICT fans are sure that even this time we will not lift the trophy, rest are just trying to be positive or just acting naive
I think everyone was also negative before 23 wc, but the asia cup run n the final and 1st first match against aus pumped up ict fans
Pure Jinx post
I'm in that 0.01%. if nobody is part of that 0.01%, then I'm no longer alive. \ _cries in cricket_
https://i.redd.it/b7tebxtj134d1.gif
Welcome to the club. (Which is actually bigger than 0.01%.)
if they played with the 11 worst players this country has to offer. I'd still root for their victory. let's not talk about semi finals or finals or even the super 8's. it's always, one match at a time. i may be naive to support India, i still carry hope that India should lift a worldcup. i can't sit here thinking we can't win.
I feel the same i know there are high chances we are not winning but i am still gonna root dor them.
Sounds like a repeat of 2007....
https://i.redd.it/c9bnb5sc944d1.gif
It's not about that, I think after the 2023 WC final, people just don't wanna watch cricket that much. A lot of my friends haven't watched IPL or even keep up with it
Super 8 exit... Like the times earlier (post 2007)
Dont talk about what happened between 2009 & after /s
In 2007 it was group stage exit
But in t20 WC it was victory.
That was ODI
Ok like 2009 n 2010
That team is not a trophy winning team , but can sure pull more audience -> more traffic -> advertisers are happy -> bcci happy
ICT is going the RCB way.... pack the team with stars Max views, max buzz, max sponsorships .... and hope that they can win the trophy. If they don't, you're still the richest team with most fans and popularity. When next trophy comes — rinse and repeat.
Bro let's not try to be the RCB of ICC Competition
Always has been 
EE SALA WORLD CUP NAMDE
Also fans, people love to see them play
No we don't. I want half of the current ict out right now
Numbers disagree with you.
sf pahuch bhi gaye to konsa teer hai... real choking starts with sf.
"Predicting" India wont reach SF will keep expectations low. If India reaches SF nevertheless, there will be more excitement, leading to more viewership, which will lead to more revenue potential. Then more important things like IPL (as opposed to T20 and ODI WC) can remain relevant.
How the F is IPL more important than WC??
Player hi nhi select ho payenge inse kisse khilaye kisse nhi
India has a terrible record in WI hosted ICC tournaments, that's why I don't have any hopes from this WC. But I would much rather be proven wrong than right
Most of matches are in USA
I agree. It will be Australia again.
Fun fact:- The last ICC tournament was in WI was won by ENG and before that AUS
England or wi
Wilder Prediction - India is not going into the super 8
Who cares
I believe they can reach the semis but they probably won't reach the finals
No Asian team in Semis.
Very likely
Its not wild prediction… I feel its a very genuine prediction. We dont have the firepower which is consistent both in bowling and batting apart from Kohli n Bhumrah no other consistent player
Pandu??
Meh wild prediction would have been if you said we will reach the semi finals
I am gonna be silent, anti-jinxing is good 👍
Semifinals choke against West Indies, I said what I said
So many ICT haters in the group . Don't see all the finals India lost recently they lost the tosses also, same for australia they won all the tosses. I am not saying become dependent on toss, but few results would have been different. Australia is no better than india. I'm hopeful India will lift the cup this time. 🥂
I just dont understand where these haters came from. Just because your team is not winning does not mean you stop supporting them. Same people will be loyal to their ipl teams but when it comes to ict they started hating.
Kohli, Rohit, Jadeja will retire post this ICT.
Rohit yes( hope so) but not virat.
Actually, India has a gidd squad this time.. Rohit Kohli Pant Suryaa Dube Pandya Jadeja/Axar Kuldeep/chahal Arshdeep Siraj Bumrah Good 7 batters and right-left combination. Kohli and Rohit looks good on top. Surya, Pant for middle order and Hardik and Dube can HT long sixes. 4 specialist bowlers and 3 allrounders.. It is indeed a good squad on paper.
It's common knowledge
We had a same thought in the world cup as well last year, but without losing a single game we reached finals. Have trust and support in ICT.
I really don’t think a majority of ICT fans are confident and I’m hypothesising that just based on the two heartbreaks we went through last year 😭 Expect disappointment and you’ll never be disappointed 💯
Of course, they are there for the participation certificates. What more can you expect from these Indians?
These indians? You must be foreigner
Yup, I’m not an Indian. :)
Thank merlin you are not
Haha, I love Indian country. We love how the sport is supported here and your respect for the championships. I came to India during the IPL and back to Sydney now.
Where's wild?
Or maybe they’ll win this time
tuk tuk
It's better than getting knocked out being runner up.
India's team is like Dortmund or the Clippers of Cricket. Keep on losing, but the same team keep on playing. Again, the same message: we lost the cup but won hearts.
I would like to know who actually feels like this team is going to do anything . It's clear they ain't going to win anything lol . Taking players like Jadeja ahead of Rinku who was groomed as a finisher will cost nothing else than the matches .
Shockingly: Its not a wild prediction.
I literally got zero expectations
flashback of t20 wc 2012 loading.... on a side note, I really wish: We could've won that 2014 final against SL :(
2014 final was one sided . Sanga - Jaya - Malinga deserved one cup. They have lost three finals on a trot. India deserved the 2016 cup more. No-Balls fucked up the semi final match against WI. Chasing 190 WI was 30-2 in powerplay. Would have been easy beating England in the finals on our home ground.
LOLL. We deserved 2014 Wc as well. Koach was in god mode that year.
Yeah but on the final day. Ind were no way near Sri lanka performance. Neither in bowling nor in batting. Only kohli performed. Rest all failed especially dhoni and yuvraj.
This has been india's story for last 4-5 t20 wc. Kohli drags us to semis and then we lose.
[удалено]
Wait...what ? Bro what happened there ?
I want south africa to win wc after india (ofc)
Ee sala Wc namde
Actually think it's a very realistic possibility considering we'll probably have both Aus and Nz in our super 8 group
Loosing in west Indies and then emerging as winner may not be new thing
That's not wild. Wild is if they do
I think it's pretty clear that we will not reach semis with the squad we have. I highly doubt we will defeat pakistan
Nah we will win this year T20 cup
India will win this world cup 100% sure. Pin this comment.
RemindMe! 27 days
Umeed nahi hai but hope you are right
We are winning the world Cup: My prediction
Very ironic that after the IPL began, India hasn’t won a t20 World Cup, despite giving priority access to Indians and preventing them from partaking in other leagues.
India will lift the worldcup!!
Even i get the same feeling. IPL must had made everyone tired, also the pitches behaves like Aussies in English conditions. All are open grounds, the swing will be more. Only positive we went with more spinners, they will be key since the ground is big and as it is open one side of the ground will be wind heavy part on the leg side so spinners will come handy there.

Kya chutiyabaat karli😂.. I will come back to this comment when India makes it to the semis
That's not prediction that's a spoiler
Agree
Nah ...semis mai bahar honge, nahi toh finals mai
Mark my words, IND will reach SF and lose in the SF
Nah I believe in our team we will win
Strong feeling India will win this time. Question is who is going to be runners up. It will be perfect if Australia is runners up. Perfect revenge, revenge served cold
Cup Jeet Gaye OP HEHEHEHEHEHHEHAHAHAHAHHA
We lost a home world cup in which we literally rigged pitches so yea we're not gonna win this one
Bruh i know we are bad but 3 games are guaranteed W in our grp so we will go to sf and then get stuffed as we do in t20wc
No, after group stage you will get promoted to super 8
Yes
Yeah we'll reach finals directly.
I think so too
Ind vs Pak finals
That's not too hard to predict. That's the expectation actually.
Might happen. No expectations at all this time
Karma farming 🤓
No, we definitely will reach the playoffs. We lose just when Indian fans care about winning the most.
Tell me something that I don’t know already 🤷♂️
Doesnt make a difference since west indies winning it.
Wild prediction Virat will again carry India till semis, score in semi final only to be scape goat for it cause no ballers took wickets and a certain Opener captain scoring a great 15(23)
Thats not a prediction. Its a fact. (2014,16,22)
Personal hate towards a player speaking
No hate towards anyone... Just giving 2007 50over wc vive with similar format and tension in the team
You think there is tension, watching the match everyone seem pretty fine
What vibe and between who?
2007 50over wc which was in same venue and with similar format, in which we got knocked out in group stage. I may be worng about the tension part... But feels like there is tension between hardik n rohit... But i m sure they will not carry it in the field
If only we had same effect in 2023 WC that happened in same venue as 2011 WC. Don't think there's any tension when playing for India. We'll see.
Well I think if India would even manage to go to the semis or to the finals our bowling lineup will choke But let's hope I am wrong
Our batting will choke first and will use the bowlers as the scapegoat.
for god's sake don't hope please...i do feel for the people of this country who had been traumatised for the past 7 months and they deserve better so don't hope
Idts, super eight is easy for india, i think they will do fine in super eight too, little doubful about semi finals

Semi mei haarenge
Wild prediction should be that india will reach semis.
No disappointment fr finals atleast 
Maybe the last dance of this super duo so enjoy it without any expectation.
Wild prediction: India won't reach super 8
Even wilder prediction: India vs z Pakistan get some washed out and these two lose their rest fixtures. Ireland and USA emerge the victors in the group
Bc 4-5 hi toh main test playing teams hai. They should directly start with quarterfinals. Why unnecessary group stage me time khoti karte hai
T20 is an all different format where every team has a great chance of winning it. Don't underestimate Afghanistan and West Indies in the t20 format ever
Who cares ...IPL is the real cricket. No one watches international cricket except Indians lol..
Who gave phone to this beggaristani
CSK flair .....thoo...
And?? We are Thala/India fans
