I wouldn’t mind if India don’t win this World Cup. They have already won two ICC tournaments back to back, so if they fall short this time, that’s perfectly ok. l prefer  to see a first-time winner lift the trophy so  South Africa would be my pick, and if not them, then New Zealand.

 

Winning the 2024 T20 World Cup was very important because there was a lot of pressure on that Indian team. They had faced heavy criticism for not winning an ICC trophy for 11 years, so breaking that drought really mattered.

 

Right now, though, the mood feels more relaxed. There isn’t that same burden anymore, so the team can afford a loss in the T20 World Cup without it becoming a crisis. It’s in the Test format where India really need to bounce back and win more consistently. That’s where the urgency feels stronger at the moment.

Tbh they were never chokers in tests. Some of their epic 4th innings chases and back against the wall rearguards haven't been matched by famed Aus and Ind batting lineups. 

 

That format also gives you enough time to mount a comeback or multiple comebacks (as we saw in WTC F), or calm yourself down. No such room the shorter the format goes, you will have to make good intuitive decisions which they have often failed to do. T20/ODI is more unforgiving where if you don't seize the monent, you can become dead lost.

Correct. Saffers have yet to shed the choker tag in limited overs tournaments

Couldn't care less tbh , would take some time to get over this coz this team had potential playing so dangerously and ruthlessly only to faulter at the most important tournament which they were preparing for .
