With the ODI World Cup 2023 just over 2 months away, former South African cricketer Herchelle Gibbs has said the host nation, India, will be under the most pressure.
“India are under the most pressure. They got some big players who enjoy pressure and play really well under pressure but I will say it is wide open because there are so many teams that play in sub-continent conditions. I think it will be a very exciting tournament,” said Herchelle Gibbs while speaking to ANI.
India, however, already knows how to play and win under such extreme pressure, as they won their last World Cup in 2011, at home, under the leadership of MS Dhoni.

The South African team has produced some great players, including Gibbs, but they have yet to win an ODI World Cup. Since their entry in 1992, South Africa has exited before the Quarterfinals just once; they have never reached a final.
“I think I always said that we need to get into the final. Never mind the semifinal we need to get into the final. The day we get into the final we may win the World Cup” explained Gibbs.
