At the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, MS Dhoni blasted Nuwan Kulasekara into the stands to win the 2011 World Cup 12 years ago today. The Apex Cricket Council has launched the brand identity for the forthcoming Men's WC 2023 and is focused on the supporters' feelings towards that game and triumph. With roughly six months until the start of the Men's World Cup 2023,  the Apex Cricket Council has built it utilising "Navarasa," nine emotions spectators feel while watching the high-stakes sport.

The term "Navarasa," which is used in Indian theatre, has been reimagined in the context of cricket, using symbols and colour to represent the feelings fans have while experiencing the drama and excitement of a World Cup match: joy, power, anguish, respect, pride, bravery, glory, wonder, and passion, which are feelings that represent the reactions that a Cricket World Cup evokes.

'Will do our best to give us a chance to lift the trophy' – Rohit Sharma

He said, "With six months to go until the Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, the excitement is really starting to build. Playing a World Cup on home soil is every player's dream, even more so as captain, and I can't wait for it to start. The Men's Cricket World Cup is a very special event for everyone involved in cricket, and we will be doing everything over the next few months to prepare as best we can to give us the greatest chance to lift the trophy."
