“It is my World Cup and winning it is a one-day World Cup winning experience,” he said. Asked if Jimmy Anderson, 38, could do it, Ishant replied, “I only think about one match at a time. You don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m more professional about recovery now. It is important to take care of the body.
