Shubman Gill: Shubman Gill’s dream is to have the 2027 World Cup, the captain roared, know what he said

New Delhi. India’s ODI captain Shubman Gill on Sunday said winning the 2027 ODI World Cup is his team’s biggest goal, especially when they were very close to winning the trophy in the last tournament. Even after winning 10 consecutive matches, India lost to Australia in the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup. When Gill was asked on ‘Star Sports’ during the BCCI Naman Awards whether he thinks about the next ODI World Cup, he said, ‘Absolutely, I think. This is our biggest goal.

He said, ‘We felt that last time we were in India (in the final), we were very close to victory. Now we will get another chance to win it in South Africa, which will be a great opportunity for us. Gill said, ‘The biggest goal for the country is to win the World Cup in any format, so this thing keeps coming to my mind.’

At the same time, Suryakumar Yadav said that if there is any match that he would like to play and win again, then it is the final match of the 2023 ODI World Cup. He said, ‘The final match of the 2023 World Cup was held in Ahmedabad. I would like to play that again and win. T20 team captain Suryakumar said that India’s 2024 T20 World Cup victory provided a spark which has led to Indian teams of different genders and ages winning many ICC titles in recent years.

He said, ‘I think we just needed a spark or a step, which we crossed in 2024. After that, winning the Champions Trophy in 2025, then winning the women’s ODI World Cup in 2025 and then winning in 2026. Suryakumar said, ‘It was very important to take that one step. To understand what it takes to win an ICC trophy, it was necessary to experience that victory. Now there is no need to look back. Now that this wonderful streak has started, let us try to win as many trophies as possible.
