It has been a while since India won an ICC event. Considering the nation is a powerhouse when it comes to cricket, it is surprising that they don’t perform well consistently on the big stage.
Especially since the last edition went bad, India will be under pressure to win the 2022 T20 World Cup. A loss here is likely to result in some drastic changes with respect to the team.
