India’s situation is improving, but uncertainty-related worry never goes away. The likelihood of injury always exists as the game requires maximum physicality at all times. The classic example of this is when Axar Patel was abruptly dropped from the World Cup roster, and fans would like to think that this won’t happen again.
While facing Mohammed Siraj during a practice session, Team India’s star batter Virat Kohli was struck on his shoulder, giving fans a serious concern before the World Cup even started. After failing to play a delivery that gained additional bounce after being pitched on the good-length region, Kohli was clearly in pain but didn’t sustain an injury ahead of the team’s match against Netherlands.
What can we anticipate from Team India at the 2023 World Cup?
Team India has a fantastic opportunity to break the ICC trophy curse in the World Cup in 2023. It is a well-balanced squad with strengths in each area, led by Rohit Sharma. The Men in Blue’s batting line may make the opposition nervous, starting with the opening pair of the captain and Shubman Gill and ending with Hardik Pandya coming in at number six.
The bowling trio of Siraj, Shami, and Bumrah is capable of obliterating the opposition and defending any target. Additionally, Kuldeep Yadav’s arrival as a wicket-taker could be crucial when the need for the breakthrough is greatest. On their best days, the all-arounders Pandya and Jadeja can control the game by themselves.
Team India is one of the favourites to win the World Cup as a result of their immense talent. The event would be India’s third ODI World Cup and second in the twenty-first century. So, what are your thoughts on Team India’s prospects of winning the ICC ODI World Cup in 2023?
