Fearless Indian team is one of the strongest teams walks in the world of cricket. The term ‘fearless’ attached to the team is something that hasn’t been there for a long, long time, but then T20 World Cup 2022it has been a completely different Indian team.
The main reason for this was captain Rohit Sharma. India’s captain has brought a completely different mindset to the team after suffering a disappointing defeat in the semi-finals of the tournament. He instilled a fearless approach in the team and removed the fear factor.
Rohit Sharma led the way for the team by leading the way. He gives the team a great start with his attacking approach. He led from the front by scoring nearly 600 runs in the ICC World Cup 2023 and taking his team to the final.
After that, he made sure to continue his performance in the same vein and followed a similar performance in the 2024 T20 World Cup, scoring 257 runs to lead the team to the title win. He helped India end their title drought and win the ICC event for the first time since 2013.

He called Jay Shah, Rahul Dravid and Ajit Agarkar as the three pillars behind the turnaround in the team. Speaking at the CEAT Awards, he explained:
“I think it was my dream and that was required to change this team and not worry too much about the stats, the results, and also make sure that we create an environment where people can go out there and play freely.
“Honestly, I got a lot of help from my three pillars Mr. Jay Shah, Mr. Rahul Dravid and the Chairman of Selectors (Ajit Agarkar). It was very important for me to do what I did and what I didn’t do. Those who entered the field at different times and achieved what we have achieved today. Forget the players who helped the team to be.”
