India skipper Rohit Sharma is expecting the upcoming ODI World Cup in the country to be a highly competitive affair since “the game has become faster”.


Twenty20 cricket—the slam bang version of the game—has impacted all formats, including the traditional five-day games, where the batters are not averse to going for their strokes from the word go.


India will aim for their third title and the second at home when they begin their campaign against five-time champions Australia in Chennai on October 8. “This World Cup will be very competitive as the game has become faster and teams are playing more positively than ever before,” Rohit told ICC. 


“This augurs well for fans, promising them many thrilling moments. We look forward to preparing well and being at our best this October-November,” he added.
