A tea cup is not a world cup:

 

but a vada pav is better than a world cup. you can't eat the latter.

 

if the ball was a vada pav, you would have seen a different, more hungrier (literally and figuratively) rohit

Without Rohit no chance of winning the semi, let alone the toss

Talisman might be out

I wish he was

This is what happens when empty vessels make noise

Averaged 19.33 in the T20WC.
In the upcoming ODI WC lets hope that the FTB Rohit of old returns to form again; so that it accrues towards India's chances of winning an ICC trophy. But I won't hold my breath.

He never did anything much in T20 since his 2007 world T20. one dayers are his better format. But at this age i won't trust him in any format.

I thought Virat Kohli's captaincy was the only thing holding back our legendary players to win a world cup. 

 

Also Rohit would start winning cups as and wgen he becomes the captain. 

 

Looks like I was wrong

I am losing faith in ODIs as well, seniors just aren't the same anymore and our youngsters needs more time, don't think we will make ti to semis.

That goes without saying. Anytime i see a very old unit (mostly on their last legs) going into world cup i see red alert. Unless India builds a side that can come back from any crisis, they ain't winning anything. They rely on having perfect games start to finish. India had a very good run in 2019.  Then came the semi final.  We were exposed.

At the cost of not playing many youngsters.

that 2007 squad was much better than the current one IF the same form holds true. one of the reasons for 2007 exit was chopping and changing the order.

One common factor, Rahul Dravid was the decision maker then. Now as well.

One more such performance against boyzz, I am jumping on the bandwagon again.

Rohit and Dhawan have been our ace players in ODI World Cups. In contrast Kohli has just 2 centuries in 28 matches and that too against Bangla and Pak.

 

It is another thing that all have failed in crucial knockout stages, but atleast they helped India reach the Semis comfortably...

[gattaca]

Rohit goes missing when pressure is on. That is the difference between him and Kohli. Don’t remember sharma ever had a knock like Kohli 180s vs pak and lanka, 2016 t20 and recent t20 WC.
