India Vs New Zealand, Icc T20 World Cup 2021 Highlights

West Germany (1982–1990) and Brazil (1994–2002) are the only nations to appear in three consecutive World Cup finals. Germany has made the most top-four finishes , medals , as well as the most finals . Each FIFA World Cup since 1966 has its own mascot or logo.

The rotation policy was introduced after the controversy surrounding Germany’s victory over South Africa in the vote to host the 2006 tournament. However, the policy of continental rotation did not continue beyond 2014, so any country, except those belonging to confederations that hosted the two preceding tournaments, can apply as hosts for World Cups starting from 2018. This is partly to avoid a similar scenario to the bidding process for the 2014 tournament, where Brazil was the only official bidder. In 1914, FIFA agreed to recognise the Olympic tournament as a “world football championship for amateurs”, and took responsibility for managing the event.

The World Cup happens every four years in order to have enough time for the qualification tournaments and playoffs among national teams to take place. Additionally, four years provides the host country adequate time to plan the logistics of the tournament and how to best accommodate an influx of millions of fans. Men’s football has been included in every Summer Olympic Games except 1896 and 1932.

Just by sending Rahul to open alongside Kishan, you are disturbing your set top-order with Kohli pushed to No. 4. Not just the batting order, the shot selection by the Indian batsmen also was poor. You may blame it on the slowness of the pitch, but the Indian batsmen have spent enough time and played enough cricket, especially in Dubai in the recent past, to judge the pitch early and play accordingly.

Other songs, such as “Nessun dorma”, performed by The Three Tenors at four World Cup concerts, have also become identified with the tournament. England won its only title while playing as a host nation. Uruguay , Italy , Argentina , andFrance won their first titles as host nations but have gone on to win again, while Germany won their second title on home soil. For the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, the final tournament is rotated between confederations, allowing only countries from the chosen confederation to bid to host the tournament.

World Cup

A biennial World Cup was first proposed by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation at the 71st FIFA Congress on 21 May 2021 and prominently backed by former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger and national federations in Africa and Asia. Two hundred teams entered the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification rounds; 198 nations attempted to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, while a record 204 countries entered qualification for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The cumulative viewership of all matches of the 2006 World Cup was estimated to be 26.29 billion with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the final match, a ninth of the entire population of the planet. There’s always planning going into the game, but this was a great performance against a side that puts up a fight. The surface wasn’t easy to find rhythm on, and the way the openers came out really set things up for the chase. It’s just about adapting to the conditions as well as we can. The way the spinners kept applying pressure was commendable and it was a complete performance.

These are not the early days of T20, like you saw in the nascent days of 50 overs cricket in which scores of even 125 in 50 overs or 183 in 60 overs were defended successfully by India. This is the T20 era where players grow up in this format and are going to make mincemeat of the opposition when the target is well within their reach and the conditions are perfect for batting. The Indian team under Virat Kohli may have had six full non-match days between their first and second games, and the skipper remarked at the toss as a matter of fact, “it’s ridiculous we are playing two matches in 10 days”.
