Rohit Sharma wants India to win least two World Cups, discusses strategy with Suresh Raina

Indian cricket team vice-captain Rohit Sharma said that India must win two World Cups in the coming three years while chatting with his teammate Suresh Raina during an Instagram live session on Tuesday.

Rohit Sharma elaborated on his comment saying that India has an opportunity and must win at least two World Cups, as there are three championships lined up in the coming three years: two T20 World Cups and one 50-over World Cup. The star Indian cricketer was phenomenal at last year's World Cup that was held in England, where he finished the tournament as the highest run-scorer.

The two Indian Premier League (IPL) stars also talked about Raina's absence from the Indian cricket team with Sharma pointing out that they used to talk about his inclusion so that the team could benefit from his experience as well as his exceptional bowling and fielding ability.

During the live session, the duo picked up an all-time IPL Playing XI team comprising only of players from their respective teams, which is Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. Both Sharma and Raina decided to not name themselves while picking up the team.
