In a recent revelation, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag shed light on MS Dhoni's superstition during the victorious 2011 ODI World Cup campaign hosted in India. The tournament marked India's second ODI World Cup triumph, following their iconic victory under Kapil Dev's leadership in 1983. Sehwag disclosed that Dhoni had a peculiar superstition of consuming 'khichdi' (a traditional Indian dish) throughout the World Cup.
Sehwag stated, "Everyone had their own superstitions, and Dhoni's was to have 'khichdi' consistently throughout the World Cup." He further added, "Dhoni used to believe that even if he wasn't scoring runs, as long as this superstition prevailed and the team was winning matches, it was working."
In other news, the venue and schedule for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023 have been officially announced. The tournament will commence with the opening match between England and New Zealand at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium.
Eight teams have already qualified for the 46-day event through the Cricket World Cup Super League, while the final two spots will be determined by the finalists of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe. India's first match of the tournament is scheduled against Australia on October 8 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
India will also have a chance to seek redemption against New Zealand, who defeated them in the 2019 semi-final, as they face off on October 22 at the scenic venue of Dharamsala. Additionally, a highly anticipated clash between arch-rivals Australia and England is set to take place on November 4 in Ahmedabad. The defending champions, India, had convincingly defeated Australia in the previous World Cup to secure a spot in the final.
Cricket enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the start of the ODI World Cup 2023, as teams from across the globe compete for cricket's most coveted prize. With interesting revelations and exciting match-ups on the horizon, the tournament promises to deliver enthralling moments and unforgettable cricketing action.
