T20 WC: Ian Bishop Backs India To Handle Pressure Of Quest For Retaining Trophy At Home
T20 World Cup India: India's quest to defend their Men’s T20 World Cup title in the upcoming mega event starting on Saturday will not be undermined by pressure, said former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop. Defending champions India head into the upcoming showpiece event as the top-ranked T20I side and a dominant 4-1 series victory over New Zealand.
They boast of the best win percentage (84.6 percent) among the top ten teams post the last T20 World Cup in 2024. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side are aiming to retain their title, win a third trophy, and potentially win a final at home, something which no other side has done before in a Men’s T20 World Cup.
“My simple answer to the point of pressure is that you go back to 2011, India won an ODI World Cup at home. They got to the final in 2023 against Australia, who were too good on the day. So look, as defending champions, I think a lot of teams are very good now - management staff are taking pressure away from the players and I think India are one of those teams.
