As Team India prepares to kick off its campaign against Australia in Chennai on October 8, a heartfelt message came from Shikhar Dhawan, a notable figure in Indian cricket. Although he wasn't included in the World Cup squad, Dhawan extended his best wishes to Rohit Sharma and the team, urging them to "Bring that trophy home!"

Dhawan, who had been making headlines due to his divorce from his ex-wife Aesha, acknowledged that his form had waned, making his exclusion from the squad inevitable. The emergence of young talent like Shubman Gill, who has excelled as the second opener alongside Rohit Sharma, further solidified India's ODI lineup.

Gill's dynamism and Rohit's consistency at the top order have contributed significantly to India's success in ODI cricket in 2023. As the World Cup unfolds, fans across the country hope that this partnership will continue to shine on the global stage, bringing glory to Indian cricket.
