IND vs NZ: In the World Cup 2023, India played and won the first match against Australia in Chennai. For the second match, Rohit Sharma's team reached the country's capital Delhi and defeated Afghanistan here. From Delhi, Team India reached Ahmedabad, where they faced arch-rival Pakistan and made a splash with their 8th win in the World Cup. Reached Pune from Ahmedabad, where another neighbor of India i.e. Bangladesh wanted to become a hindrance in its victory, but could not. After 4 wins in 4 matches, you must have got an idea of the strength of Team India. But, in reality this is just a glimpse. Because the real picture is yet to come.The real picture will be seen when the teams of India and New Zealand face each other in Dharamshala. Indian captain Rohit Sharma will play the role of hero in this picture. The villain will be the entire New Zealand team. The rest of the players of Team India will be seen in side roles. Rohit Sharma is a hero because he has to do what the three captains of India did not do. What happened 20 years ago in the history of the World Cup has to be repeated.Rohit will do the same in Dharamshala, which happened in the year 2003But now the hero of the picture wants to do something and the villain should not become a hindrance in it. How can this happen? To prevent Rohit Sharma from succeeding in his plans, the New Zealand team can be seen playing the same role of villain in Dharamshala. The Indian captain as a hero has to crush that villain. Because if this happens then the same thing will happen which happened in the 2003 World Cup.Now what happened in 2003? So that year, India defeated New Zealand for the last time in the ODI World Cup. After that, the Indian team played 4 ODI World Cups under the leadership of 3 captains but could never defeat New Zealand when they faced them.There were 3 captains in whom they failed, now Rohit will execute them.India played the 2007 World Cup under the command of Rahul Dravid. Due to being eliminated in the initial stage itself, there was no encounter with New Zealand. India played the 2011 World Cup under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. Team India became the world champion here but lost the match against New Zealand. Even in the 2015 World Cup, MS Dhoni's team failed to defeat New Zealand. Who can forget the semi-final match of the 2019 World Cup played under the captaincy of Virat. India had lost here also.Now looking at the chariot of victory Rohit Sharma's team is riding on in the World Cup 2023, it seems that history will change. What Dravid, Dhoni and Virat could not do under their captaincy, Rohit Sharma will do it. We will defeat New Zealand in Dharamshala in the same way as Sourav Ganguly had defeated them under his captaincy for the last time in the 2003 World Cup.Whatever New Zealand does, Rohit's team India will win!However, all this is easy to say, but a little difficult to do. That's because, like Team India, New Zealand has also won 4 of its 4 matches so far. He is also on top in the points table. But, then there is a similar story in the picture too, in which the villain is definitely dangerous but in the end it is the hero who wins. Then pray that in Dharamshala too, our 'hero' i.e. captain Rohit Sharma wins over the 'villain' New Zealand.
