AFP, New Delhi :
India’s new limited-overs captain Rohit Sharma said he hopes to win a world title for the cricket-crazy nation, an achievement that eluded his sacked predecessor Virat Kohli.
During Kohli’s five-year tenure India rose in the one-day, Twenty20 and Test rankings but missed out on securing a single international tournament.
India, who last won a world crown-the Champions Trophy-in 2013, failed to make the semi-finals in this year’s T20 World Cup and got knocked out in the last four of the 2019 50-over showpiece event.
The team also lost the inaugural World Test Championship final to New Zealand in June.
“The last ICC trophy we won was in 2013, since then we haven’t won but I don’t think we did anything wrong after that,” Rohit, 34, said in a video on the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s official website on Sunday.
“We played as a team, we performed as a team, it’s just that we couldn’t get that extra inch that we look forward to,” he said.
