ICC T20 World Cup: Rohit Sharma-led Team India departs for Australia

MUMBAI: The India men's cricket team, led by Rohit Sharma, left for Australia on Thursday morning for the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup, starting October 16.

After failing to make the semis in the last edition in 2021, the 2007 champions will try to claim the trophy this time around.

Team India was able to generate some momentum before the World Cup winning the bilateral series against Australia and South Africa.

The social media account of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) posted a picture of the entire Team India contingent departing for the T20 World Cup.

"Picture perfect, let's do this #TeamIndia. @cricketworldcup here we come," BCCI tweeted.

India will begin their T20 World Cup campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan on October 23 in Melbourne.
