This World Cup is going to be very competitive, says Rohit Sharma

TIL Desk Sports/ India captain Rohit Sharma believes the upcoming ICC World Cup will be “very competitive” as the game has “become faster” and teams embracing a more attacking approach like never before.

India will be aiming for their third title and the second at home when they begin their campaign in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup against Australia in Chennai on October 8.

The hosts will play all their nine league matches at different venues including the new Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

This World Cup is going to be very competitive as the game has become faster and teams are playing more positively than ever before,” Rohit was quoted as saying in an ICC release.
