However, this time India has a golden opportunity to break this choker trap.
The South African team is known as chokers in ICC tournaments. They always lose in the semi-finals, but the same situation has been seen with the Indian team for the last 10 years. The team has played 10 ICC tournaments in the last 10 years and has missed the title every time.
India last won the ICC trophy in 2013

Played 5 finals in last 10 ICC tournaments

Meanwhile, it is not wrong to say that the Indian team is also becoming chokers. However, one thing in this is that the Indian team has played the finals 5 times.
While the chokers African team is losing in the semi-finals. This time also they have entered the final for the first time. This is the first final of the South African team in the World Cup (ODI-T20) history, but on the other hand the Indian team has a chance to end the drought of ICC trophy by winning the title this time.
