Michael Hussey Opens Up On Team India’s Attitude
“My observation of this generation of players is they don’t really care. They don’t really care about the past. They’re writing their own destiny. This new generation of Indian cricketers, they don’t seem to worry about the old baggage or the old scars. They’re trying go out there and forge their own destiny,” said Michael Hussey.
Hussey also feels that Team India has all of their bases covered and their squad looks amazing. He also added that he is excited to see will their mentality change in the knockout match.
“India look great, don’t they? Their squad looks amazing. They’ve got all the bases covered, really. They’re playing with confidence. They look like they are loving it at the moment,” said Hussey.
“Obviously, they look like the team to beat, no question. For me, the question mark coming in was, could (India) handle that home pressure, playing in front of their home crowd and delivering? I still want to see them play in the knockout stage, where you lose, you go home. Does that change their mentality at all?,” Hussey added.
Meanwhile, India is set to face New Zealand in the semi-finals of ICC World Cup 2023 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The match takes place on Wednesday, November 15.
