World Cup 2023: Why did the word 'choker' become associated with the talented Indian cricket team
The Indian team is a clear favorite in the Cricket World Cup 2023, but the tag of 'choker' is also attached to them. This derisive nickname was commonly used in the cricketing world for the South African team that failed in the final moments of every major trophy from 1995 to 2015. However, the name has become associated with India since winning the Champions Trophy in 2013 due to a dismal failure in key ICC tournaments. Just two years ago in 2013, India won the Cricket World Cup and four years before that, in MS Dhoni's first campaign as captain, India also won the first T20 World Cup under a big star. The hat-trick of victories not only gave MS Dhoni a great status, but also recognized the talent and breadth of cricket in India. With the launch of the IPL in 2008 and its gradual rise to fame and fortune, players from every corner of the country were discovered and India's rise in the world of cricket was evident.India is the biggest power in the world of cricket
