Ex- England Skiper: “Strongest Side in T20 World Cup is India”: Team India is regarded by former England captain Eoin Morgan as the “strongest side” in the T20 World Cup 2024, which begins later this week. On June 5 in New York (United States of America), the Men in Blue, led by Rohit Sharma, will begin their campaign against Ireland.
India is in Group A with hosts USA, Canada, Ireland, and bitter foe Pakistan.

Speaking on Sky Sports Cricket alongside former England captains Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain, Morgan praised the depth of the Indian team. And predicted that they will be a serious danger to the opposition at the T20I championship.
“The strongest side, even with injuries throughout the tournament, is India, without a doubt. Their strength and depth is absolutely incredible at the moment. And it’s almost probably, we’re talking about who the players that were missed out in their squad of 15 because of the quality that they possess,” Morgan said.

“They are favorites for me. I think that they’re just the quality that they have on paper. If they produce it, I think they can, they can beat anybody quite well in the tournament,” he added.
Atherton, meantime, brought up the fact that, despite winning the trophy in the tournament’s first year, 2007, India has never triumphed in a T20 World Cup.
He said that although though the Indian squad still only has one global championship to their record. T20 cricket in the nation changed following the team’s victory under MS Dhoni’s captaincy and the creation of the Indian Premier League.

“They haven’t won it since that first World Cup back in 2007,” Atherton said. “That’s the great irony. That’s how long It’s also an irony because everybody talks about the IPL and how that has improved. India’s T20 cricket. The irony is the only time they’ve won it was pre-IPL.”
On Monday, the first group of Indian athletes arrived in the United States. Members of the squad departed from Mumbai on Saturday evening. After a short layover in Dubai, they arrived in the United States on Monday morning to participate in the showpiece event.

“I am standing at a point where when I look back, I only see memories and a new life when I look forward. It was always my dream to play for India, and I got to live it. I am thankful to a lot of people for that. First of all, my family, my childhood coaches and then my team that I played with for so many years. I got a new family, fame and love. But it is said that to move forward, you need to flip the pages,” Dhawan said in a post on ‘X’.
“I am announcing my retirement from international and domestic cricket. As I bid farewell to my cricketing journey, I have peace in my heart. I played a lot for my country. I only say this to myself, that you don’t need to be upset about not playing for your country again, but be happy that you had the opportunity to do so,” he concluded.
