India's celebrated all-rounder, Yuvraj Singh, has shown full confidence in the Indian cricket team, urging them to reclaim the World Cup trophy as the tournament commenced with an opening match between 2019 finalists England and New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
Using the social media platform 'X', Yuvraj extended his best wishes to Team India for their World Cup 2023 journey. India, geared up to begin their campaign against the formidable five-time champions, Australia, will lock horns at Chennai's iconic Chepauk Stadium.
"As I reflect on the incredible journey we had during the 2011 World Cup, I can't help but feel a rush of nostalgia. The joy of representing our nation on home soil and bringing the World Cup home was a moment I'll cherish forever. Now, it's deja vu as the World Cup returns to our cricket-crazy nation. The same love, the same passion, and the same expectations from a billion hearts," Yuvraj posted on 'X'.
Yuvraj emphasized his unwavering faith in the prowess of the Indian squad participating in the World Cup 2023. He highlighted the significance of players enjoying the game and creating lasting memories on the field. As a key contributor to India's triumphs in both the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup, Yuvraj's words come with profound experience and credibility.
"I've witnessed firsthand what it feels like to lift that trophy, and I want each one of you to experience that euphoria. It's a journey of hard work, dedication, and teamwork, and I have full faith in our incredible Indian squad. Remember, the World Cup isn't just about winning a title; it's about making memories that last a lifetime. It's about inspiring the next generation of cricketers, just as we were inspired by the legends before us," posted Yuvraj.
Echoing the sentiments of millions of fans, Yuvraj articulated that the entire country stands solidly behind Team India. He expressed his anticipation and hope to see the World Cup trophy return to Indian shores. Adding to India's confidence is their current status as the top-ranked team in ODIs.
"The entire nation stands firmly behind you, cheering for every run, every wicket, and every victory. Go out there, give it your all, and bring that trophy back home once more. We believe in you, and we know you can do it! Wishing Team India all the success and glory in the 2023 World Cup. Let's make history again! Jai Hind!," Yuvraj concluded.
India's journey in World Cup 2023 will start with a clash against Australia, followed by a match against Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on October 11. As the excitement escalates, Indian fans worldwide will be hoping for a stellar performance from the Men in Blue.
