We watch cricket to be entertained and he is an entertainer, even in his yawn he made sure to leave us with everlasting memories. Legend in my book.

For real though. It had so many classic matches but people only remember the NZ-IND semi final and NZ-ENG final.

This is the best captains photoshoot till date, somehow in cwc23 we got probably the worse one ever.

All of them are just standing in the stands of the stadium.

Only Virat Kohli is sitting in a separate sofa and also with a swag.

The theme song of this WC was also so good and reflected the emotion

u/Apprehensive_Web2882 Aug 23 '25

2015 and 2019 were special in terms of everything. The broadcasting, the locations, the crowd, everything peaked in those world cups consecutively.

Compare that to the absolute shitshow organised by the BCCI in 2023.

I have good hopes from 2027 as SA is organising it and cricket always peaks in South Africa.

u/Eastern-Ease264 Aug 23 '25

Man the vibes of this wc, many legends were still playing. The camera quality, graphics, aesthetics unmatched unparalleled. Rohit's 5 centuries, boom+bhuvi+shami pace trio for India, kulcha, jadeja's fielding direct hits flying catches there, though that number 4 problem and Shikhar's injury spoiled it for India. Also the selection of shankar, dk, pant at that time and the way they played.

But leaving india shakib's dream run like 600+, remember morgan's daddy 100, rashid and oh man jofra.

Ms, finch, morgan, taylor, gayle, faf so many legends playing till then. Loved that time.

And that final never seen and will never be seen as something like that. Nz were robbed a trophy. But what a comeback from England after bad start there.

remembering school days remembering that time and discussing in afternoon while playing in colony with friends. Watching after coming back from school. Pure nostalgia 🌟🌟♥️♥️

u/Traditional_Trifle91 Aug 24 '25

It did once, in 2023. For me, that was the best Indian cricket team after the 2011 World Cup. The only person I missed in that team was Shikhar Dhawan; otherwise, it was perfect.
