'Unlike Australia and England...': R Ashwin opens up on India's chances in World Cup 2023

last Indian Cricket Team last won a One Day world cup was in 2011. That time y became team to win a world cup at home and now it has become a trend because from last two world cups it's home teams who have started to win world cups. Be it Australia in 2015 or England in 2019. This year 2023 One Day World Cup is being held in India and Team India are one of strongest contenders. Indian Off spinner R Ashwin also has same opinion. 

veteran off spinner on his YouTube channel said that re is ‘no rocket science’ in calling Team India ‘firm favourites’ to win world cup. This time world is at home and also Ashwin talked about Team India’s impressive record at home since y last won world cup. Ashwin also quoted that India have played all ir One Day matches on 18 different venues unlike Australia and England who play ir matches on a handful of venues. 

Speaking on his YouTube Channel Ashwin said, “India’s ODI home record ever since 2019 World Cup finished is extremely impressive. India has won against every team that’s travelled to India in this space, which are West Indies, Australia, England, South Africa, Sri Lanka. India’s home record is 14-4 in this space [since 2019 World Cup], which is a 78 to 80 percent win record in India. All of se 18 ODIs have happened in different venues every single time (14 venues). If you have to compare same spree with Australia or England, venues are pretty stock standard. y play all ir Test matches at 4-5 venues, ODIs are played in 2-3 venues and so y know ir venues are back of ir hand.”

Ashwin also quoted that India this time is going to be a bit 'short changed'. He furr explained that wickets at each venue are changed and each venue will have different wickets. 

'This is no rocket science'`

“Since 2011 World Cup, all teams have managed to win ir home World Cup - India, n Australia in 2015 and England in 2019. This is no rocket science, knowing your conditions is extremely important. However, for India, in this regard is going to be a bit short-changed because of number of venues we play se games in. Every single time you play in some of se venues wickets are going to be different. India does not have a stock standard Test, ODI or T20I season. You don't know how FTP is going to pan out but it gets hard from team or player's perspective,”

India are on right track as y have begun ir preparations for world cup. India beat Banglesh last month and whitewashed Sri Lanka at home.
