IND vs BAN / This record of Rohit's defeat is indicating India becoming world champion? understand the whole matter

IND vs BAN: It has been more than twelve years since India last became world champion. Under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, Team India won the title in the tournament held in its own home. Now once again the tournament is being held in India and this time also Team India is performing strongly. Like Dhoni, charismatic captain Rohit Sharma is leading this team. In such a situation, the hope has increased that Rohit will also do the same feat which Dhoni did. Different coincidences are being added regarding this since 2011. There is one more such coincidence, which has not been discussed yet and it is related to the India-Bangladesh match, which is indicating that India will become champion under the captaincy of Rohit.

We will tell you further about this coincidence. First let us discuss the performance of Team India so far in the World Cup 2023. India started its campaign with the match against Australia and registered an easy victory. Then in the next match, Afghanistan was also defeated without any problem. The third match was against Pakistan and India could hardly have had a more one-sided victory than this. Now the match is with Bangladesh, which will be played in Pune on Thursday 19 October.

Losing record, coincidence of becoming champion

Now let's talk about the coincidence on which all hopes are pinned. This has to do with the records of Dhoni and Rohit. Let us explain in detail. Dhoni and Rohit are among the most successful captains of India. Despite this, when it comes to ODI record against Bangladesh, no other captain has lost more matches than these two. Dhoni also lost 3 matches against Bangladesh during his captaincy tenure and Rohit has also lost 3 matches against Bangladesh so far.

The special thing is that before becoming the regular captain, Rohit had taken command in 2 ODI matches against Bangladesh and won both. But since taking over the full captaincy in December 2021, Bangladesh won all the 3 matches he led. This is the coincidence that raises the hope that perhaps by having a record like Dhoni, Rohit too will be able to win the World Cup like him. If this happens on September 19, then its name will also be added to the chain of different coincidences.

Will have to show strength on the field also

However, records and coincidence alone will not suffice, but performance on the field will also have to be done. Under Dhoni's captaincy, India won every tournament (ODI) in which it took the field against Bangladesh. Similarly, the two wins achieved under Rohit's captaincy also came in the 2018 Asia Cup. For the first time, Rohit is handling the captaincy in the ODI World Cup and in such a situation he would also like to register victory here.

Anyway, there is a match between India and Bangladesh, so obviously Team India is a strong contender. The entire record between the two teams and the history of the World Cup are witness to the fact that the scale is unilaterally tilted in favor of India. Something similar is expected to happen this time too. Team India will just hope that like the two upsets that happened in the World Cup, Bangladesh also does not do something like what they did in 2007.
