Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag has opened a new Pandora's box for India and International Cricket Council.
Former Indian opening batsman Virender Sehwag has claimed that the International Cricket Council will help India advance in the World Cup. ICC wish is that the host team stays in the tournament until the end.
Here, the grounds are already prepared, just as when the host, India plays in the semifinal or final, such a pitch will also be prepared to benefit them. Therefore, I believe that the Indian team has the best chance of winning the World Cup.
Sehwag stated that the ICC knows very well that if the Indian team stays until the end of the event, it will attract more viewership and sponsors. This will also benefit the host board.
Remember that the Indian board had already faced criticism regarding the venues, especially from the Pakistan Cricket Board, which complained that matches were held on such venues where conditions were more favorable for opponents. Both the BCCI and ICC did not pay attention to PCB's complaint.
In Chennai, despite all three initial players being out at zero during their first match, India won the match thanks to only two batsmen, Kohli and Lokesh Rahul.
