Rashid Khan has insisted that the Afghanistan cricket team should be looking forward to winning the T20 world cup as the country expects them to win the title this time. He added that the team has all the qualities required to win the title and just lack in experience against the big teams.  

Admiring Dhoni’s career, Monty Panesar stated that it was once MS Dhoni was given the leadership, he became the cricketer that we know him to be today. He also appreciated Dhoni’s ability to read people and situations, getting the best out of his players and still remain calm at the same time.

Harbhajan Singh has revealed that he has never seen the Indian fans get behind the team as much as after they won the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup win in South Africa. He also put the 2001 home series win against Australia on the same pedestal as the 2011 World Cup win at home.

Faf du Plessis is of the opinion that both the Indian Premier League and the T20 World Cup in Australia could go ahead in the same year with some alteration in the calendar. Faf also believes that cricket should be resumed with a short two-match series or the IPL, but not with a long series.
