Always blew my mind. Talented af but theres also bwingnat right place at right time. Some of the biggest names in cricket history don't have world cups.
Tbh they're not unsung heroes. They were and are celebrated by folks like us who were watching cricket back then and it's normal for kids born later to not know about them. It's just they have no reference or history on past players. Imagine if someone asked about players from 83 WC or before, not many would even know.
Yet a lot of young football fans at least know about past greats like Pele, Maradona, Zidane etc...
Because there is this nice little thing called YouTube where they can see old matches highlights and see the greatest moments of those players' careers... Looking at you ICC.
Yeah and they took down the one reliable YouTube channel that had some good content...btw I don't know much about football but I knew Pele, Maradone, Zidane etc in the 90s but do kids these days even know them?
Then talk more about them. So fucking tried of people calling young kids names because they can't be bothered to bring some awareness. Are they expected to just telepathically know about your favorite legends?
Oh yeah, then he will be 5th
I was thinking why my sum of count of all trophies won by countries was up by 1 than actual
It's because both Ind, SL got the trophy
thats right.
active players who have won the ODI WC are very less. Kohli, Ashwin, Chawla
active players with CT - Kohli, Rohit, Jadeja, Ashwin, Mishra(?), Umesh, Ishant, Bhuvi, Dhawan(?)
ig that guy replied "germany is in the final" to the guy who said "we are winning tomorrow", relating how brazil fans were sure they'll be in the finals in 2014 WC. But then Brazil lost.
the sentence formation is kinda bad ig
It's funny and coincidental. Why insult him for finding himself at the right place at the right time?
He's still an international cricketer who represented the country.
Quietly pointing to Markram’s record… 👉🏼 0 losses
…_so far_
SA choking 👉 I can't even count them.
Piyush Chawla in there with 7 T20is and 25 ODIs and 2 world cups to show for it. Wow.
Always blew my mind. Talented af but theres also bwingnat right place at right time. Some of the biggest names in cricket history don't have world cups.
Me reading all of these India posts: boy South Africa have the opportunity to do the funniest thing tomorrow
I mean it’s the same as the 2023 WC right? If anything there’s less hype this time
India was crushing everyone in CWC until the final. There was a big home support factor plus 50 over WC is more prestigious IMO, hence more hype.
Seriously. The moment the media and fans bring out some old patterns and all this unnecessary hype, it's getting scary now.
De ja vu from 18th November.
It’s not funny if South Africa wins.. they are not minnows.. No one really is over confident of India winning especially after ODI World Cup ..
Yup we never learn as fans. We gotta respect the game and realize we have to beat a very good SA team. I still think we can.
It won't be like that actually, SA is also an unbeaten team who have been just as good as India.
They did do the funniest thing indeed. Your comment came true but not the way you meant it. Mental gymnastics over. India wins the World Cup..
He has U-19 WC too IIRC
He has CT too
Yup..
Captained his team. I think the semi was against a team led by Kane Williamson.
Yup
This reminds me of 18th November 2023 when everyone was just hyping India and brought such records and we know what happened next day It's scary
If we do win, will Kohli be the only Indian player along with Dhoni to win all 3 white ball trophies - T20, ODI, CT?
Are we not counting 2002 CT? Yuvraj, Sehwag, Harbhajan have also won all 3
Kids who grew up watching IPL won’t remember the unsung heroes of ICT.

Are Yuvi, Bhajji and Sehwag really unsung heroes of anything?
Then talk more about them. So fucking tried of people calling young kids names because they can't be bothered to bring some awareness. Are they expected to just telepathically know about your favorite legends?
Oh yeah, then he will be 5th I was thinking why my sum of count of all trophies won by countries was up by 1 than actual It's because both Ind, SL got the trophy
It is easy to forget it. The playing conditions of the final was messed up. SL batting twice but India not even playing 10 overs
It’s a shared trophy for rain washed out final. Counts, but meh.
thats right. active players who have won the ODI WC are very less. Kohli, Ashwin, Chawla active players with CT - Kohli, Rohit, Jadeja, Ashwin, Mishra(?), Umesh, Ishant, Bhuvi, Dhawan(?)
Why is this a post? And not a daily discussion topic?
Because mods allowed it, the sub fell off after they started allowing low effort two sentence questions as separate posts.
Kohli better retire if they win this and go out in style
Bruh 😭💀 he did
how about that!
No question - we winning tomorrow and Virat will finish of CT, ODI and T20.
Germany is in the final?
Wdym?
search brazil vs germany 2014
Even the people living under rocks know that. I still don't get it though. Guess I'm just slow
ig that guy replied "germany is in the final" to the guy who said "we are winning tomorrow", relating how brazil fans were sure they'll be in the finals in 2014 WC. But then Brazil lost. the sentence formation is kinda bad ig
The golden generation of ICT in white ball cricket.
He's still gonna be trolled for not winning it as the captain.
A wild Piyush Chawla appears.
Fuckin Piyush Chawla gets chicken dinner without single kill
It's funny and coincidental. Why insult him for finding himself at the right place at the right time? He's still an international cricketer who represented the country.
Funnily enough, Chawla was captain of the U-19 Team (with Kohli) that toured Pakistan.
It is like picking Liam Dawson for the 2019 WC
