Veteran batsman Virat Kohli has said that he and his teammates are ready to give their best performance in the upcoming ODI World Cup to be held at home. He said that the team is committed to making the dream of Indian fans come true. India has won the ODI World Cup twice. The team last won the title in 2011 when it co-hosted the tournament along with Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

 

India, led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, won the title by defeating Sri Lanka by six wickets in the final at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Kohli is now desperate to end the 12-year title drought. The Indian team has earlier failed to win the title in Australia-New Zealand in 2015 and England in 2019. "The passion and support of the fans further strengthens your commitment to win the World Cup," Kohli told the World Cup's official broadcaster.

 

 

Want to create new memories for fans: Virat

Kohli said, “The memories of past World Cup wins, especially the historic win in 2011, remain etched in our hearts and we want to create new memories for our fans. I am thrilled to be a part of this wonderful campaign. Our fans are passionate about this and we are ready to give everything to make their dream come true.”

 

Fans' encouragement will become an inspiration: Jadeja

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja also echoed Kohli's sentiments. He said, “As a cricketer, there is nothing more inspiring than having millions of fans standing behind you, cheering for your success. This campaign gives a glimpse of the passion and madness of our fans who want to see Team India win.'' India will start its campaign in the World Cup against Australia in Chennai on October 8.
