Team India prospects in a bullish phase at ICC World Cup 2023

There are many fundamentally good shares, which are not in 'form', and are unable to reach their true potential. The potential is met in some other cases. Like in shares, for cricketers too a lot of factors contribute to performance, and not just potential. However, in the long term, shares and players with potential will perform, the CEO of TRA Research said

The Indian cricket team, which is hoping to hold aloft the coveted ICC World Cup 2023, looks bullish, much like our stock market, which is in the grip of a multi-year bull run.

Talking to Bizz Buzz, N. Chhandramouli, CEO, TRA Research, a consumer insights and brand analytics company, says, “The comparisons of shares to well performing cricketers can be a good analogy if one is investing based on fundamentals. In such cases, the comparison is one of potential. When investing in a good share on fundamentals, one looks at the past performance, including Q-on-Q, like it is in a cricketer's case on a match to match basis.”

There are many fundamentally good shares, which are not in 'form', and are unable to reach their true potential. The potential is met in some other cases. Like in shares, for cricketers too a lot of factors contribute to performance, and not just potential. However, in the long term, shares and players with potential will perform, he said.

Rohit Sharma: He is like our Infosys share, good fundamentals, a performer previously and every broking house say 'hold' but can it actually regain former glory remains a major question.

Virat Kohli: TCS is the share that comes to one’s mind readily-strong fundamentals, great track-record, great promoters and a leader in the Indian IT space.

Suryakumar Yadav: Jubilant Food is a good stock with potential to visit its old glory again and Surya is here with the stock on the same page. The stock is the darling of the FIIs and he the darling of fans. And both are good at day-trades (games).

Jasprit Bumrah: He is like our HDFC Bank. Just like HDFC Bank after its merger with HDFC is struggling to manage its weight presently, Bumrah too is struggling to balance his game with the injury from which he came out recently. However, the broking houses always seem bullish about HDFC Bank just as our selectors are about ‘Boom boom’ Bumrah.

Md Shami: Pidilite is the share which hugs Shami like a lover. Both the stock and the cricketer whether rain or shine have good records, never disappointing, consistent and always reliable.

Kuldeep Yadav: Started with good performance, then went into hibernation and is now raring to go. Indigo Airlines stock compares itself well with this comeback kid.

Ravindra Jadeja: He is L&T, the most resilient of shares and a must-own in any portfolio. Just as any new FII would first put its allocation in L&T, every selection committee will invariably pick Jaddu first.

Mohd. Siraj: He is comparable with our railway stocks like IRFC, RVNL and IRCON, which look like they are on asteroids. Siraj is improving with every outing just like every announcement from the government pushes the prices of the above stocks. And both look like definite long-term bets.

Shardul Thakur: Started with lots of good things written about it, performed well for a while but on a decline even though not completely written off.

Axar Patel: The old generation textile mill stocks of Bombay like Bombay Dyeing, Century and Garware are comparable with this cricketer. Just like these stocks are performing now not on the strength of their core competence, that is textiles, but survive only because prices of vast tracts of factory land have hit the roof.

Shreyas Iyer: The stock that fits Shreyas is Ashok Leyland. Good company, good verticals, always promising and a must-hold in all portfolios but it does not reflect fully in prices. Ditto Iyer-highly talented, performs well across genres,

Hardik Pandya: He is the ever resilient Reliance stock-commanding, strong, terrific track-record and great wealth creator. Yes, Pandya is the captain's go-to-man and the one likely to succeed Rohit.

Ishan Kishan: He is comparable to Adani stocks. The stocks are, of late, growing by leaps and bounds and are the talk of the town. Similarly, Ishan has been a prolific run getter in instant games and more particularly the IPL variety.

Shubman Gill: He is undoubtedly our ITC stock which is strong, bettering its own performance year after year, dependent, paying rich dividends and giving handsome values to its shareholders.

K.L. Rahul: The stock that comes to my mind is ICICI Bank. Given its start, promoters and its performance the stock should have been like HDFC Bank today but midway it lost momentum as it got plagued by its CEO's corruption issues. But now with all stains gone, it is marching majestically and in the last couple of years its performance has been a revelation.

R. Ashwin: A Mr. Reliable like the State Bank of India. Even if you are not sure, you can rest be assured of something in return.

Rahul Dravid: He is the HUL stock. Both a class apart in their respective domains-consistent, reliable and very disciplined. Irrespective of the state of the pitch, both assure lasting values.

Well like the stocks making a winning portfolio, the Indian team has the wherewithal to wrest the Cup from England.
