Team India depart for Australia for T20 World Cup 2022

The Indian national team departed for Australia on Thursday morning as the Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue eye for their second ICC Men’s T20 World Cup title. India last won the prestigious tournament back in 2007, which was also the inaugural season of the 20-over World Cup. Since then, India has not managed to win an ICC title in the T20 format.

India’s first game at the T20 World Cup is scheduled on October 23 against arch-rivals Pakistan. The team will compete in two practice matches prior to the Super 12 stage. Before their mega-clash against Pakistan, India will play Australia and New Zealand on October 17 and October 19, respectively.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a group photo of the Indian contingent, players and support staff, before they took off for Australia early on Thursday, October 6.
