Nasser Hussain says India’s World Cup hopes hinge on mental strength
Former England captain Nasser Hussain believes India’s performance in the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup will depend on their mental strength and ability to bounce back from consecutive losses in Visakhapatnam. As India faces England in a must-win game on Sunday, Hussain emphasized the importance of maintaining confidence and character, especially after India’s ODI series win over England in July.
Hussain suggested that India adopt a more aggressive batting approach, similar to their 330-run total against Australia, to put pressure on opponents. He stressed the need for India to play fearless cricket, particularly with the extra batter, to ensure they reach above-par scores. With key players like Deepti Sharma and Sneh Rana capable of rescuing the team, Hussain urged India to go hard and aim for victory against England.
