Ahead of the prestigious ODI World Cup, the Indian team and fans are looking forward to clinching the marquee tournament. As India announced their 15-member squad for the marquee event, fans were anticipating a repeat of their 2011 heroics. Joining them as the latest on the list is former India cricketer and hero of the 2011 World Cup, Yuvraj Singh, who presents a blueprint for India's success in 2023.

In a recent tweet, Yuvraj said, "We all want a repeat of 2011 in World Cup 23, but In 2011, Team India shined under pressure. In 2023, again, the team is under pressure to perform. Do we have enough time to turn this around? Can we use this pressure to become a game changer?" His post attracted a huge response as fans started analyzing the Indian squad.

Meanwhile, another World Cup winner, Virender Sehwag, also responded to his tweet and said, @YUVSTRONG12 Ayi baat pressure ki, toh iss bar hum pressure lenge nahi, denge! Like champions!
Peechle 12 saal mein, host team World Cup jeeti hain! 2011: We won at home; 2015: Australia won in Australia; 2019: England won in England; 2023: Hum Toofan Machayenge!

Aakash Chopra and Dinesh Karthik also joined the campaign

It's worth noting that these tweets are part of an ad campaign launched by soft drink brand Thumps Up. Joining the campaign, former India batter Aakash Chopra said, "Are you guys seeing it? Dimag vs. Dil Shuru ho gaya hai. Aage dekhte hai kya hota hai. #IndiaWillWin" However, in a few minutes, Chopra deleted the tweet and didn't say a word about it.

Meanwhile, wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik also joined it as he quoted Virender Sehwag's tweet and said, "Couldn’t agree more, Viru paaji! This team has, time and again, done the impossible. Our good is better than other teams' best. The guests can have everything they want, but not the World Cup." It will be interesting to see how this campaign motivates Indian fans and players to bring the cup home.
