“India is a strong contender to win the 2024 T20 World Cup.” On November 27, India’s former head coach Ravi Shastri stated that he thinks the country would be a “serious challenger” in the T20 World Cup the following year because of its potent core in the shortest format. But remembering that in knockout games, you have to rise to the occasion in order to win is imperative.
Prior to the T20 World Cup, which would take place in the Caribbean and the USA starting on June 4, 2024, Shastri claimed that India has assembled a core of young players. Impact players such as Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Rinku Singh can help India become a successful T20 team.
In his remarks, he seemed dejected at the Indian cricket team’s failure to win the ICC Men’s World Cup 2023, given that the hosts had a 10-match winning streak into the final.

“It was heartbreaking but a lot of our guys will learn, the game moves on, and I see India winning a World Cup very soon,” Shastri stated.
India will be a very serious contender in the next 20-over cricket match because they have the core, but it might not be a 50-over match that easy because you have to rebuild the team. This is a condensed version of the game. That should be your main priority.”
He said, “To be honest, it still hurts from the outside, that we could not win the cup because we were the strongest team.”
“Not even the legendary Sachin Tendulkar can claim victory in the World Cup; he had to wait for six of them.” “You have to be damn good on that big day to win a World Cup; you don’t win a World Cup easily,” Shastri remarked at the Indian Open registration announcement.
