NEW DELHI: As the T20 World Cup kicks off, all eyes will be on the Indian cricket team, particularly on the dynamics between captain Rohit Sharma and vice-captain Hardik Pandya. Following a disappointing season with the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024, where Pandya replaced Sharma as skipper, the duo now finds themselves in the national camp, aiming to end India's long-standing ICC trophy drought.
Head coach Rahul Dravid faces the challenging task of ensuring that the 'alleged' tensions from the IPL do not spill over into the World Cup. However, former cricketers Irfan Pathan and Matthew Hayden believe that Dravid does not need to address the issue directly.
