Mission ICC title: India need a world trophy, not to prove a point, but for their own sake

Firstpost  

Indian players need a world title to soak in the warmth of being a ‘champion’ in the parlance in which it is accepted. In recent times in the five-day game, India have traversed a long way in erasing their ‘tigers at home, lambs abroad’ tag, the coming together of a fabulous pace attack – an enduring legacy of the Virat Kohli-Ravi Shastri management era – enabling them to win successive Test series in Australia and come away with honourable draws from England and South Africa. The last World Cup victory was at home in 2011, in the 50-over World Cup; one needs to go back to 2007, and the inaugural T20 World Cup, before the IPL was born, for India’s only success in 20-over cricket’s biggest extravaganza. T20 World Cup final FAQs: Schedule, venue, reserve day rule and more Every Indian cricketer in the last four decades has spoken of how playing for India alone comes with attendant pressures. India vs South Africa: Head-to-head, T20 World Cup history, stats and more And yet, the ache for a title lingers.
