Former Pakistan skipper Intikhab Alam lavished praise on India's wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav and stated that he will give the hosts a distinct advantage in the middle overs during the ODI World Cup 2023.

Kuldeep played a crucial role in Team India's victory in the recently concluded Asia Cup. The 28-year-old spinner scalped a total of nine wickets and bagged the Player of the Series award.

His scalps included a five-wicket haul and a four-wicket haul. As the teams are now preparing for the ODI World Cup 2023, which will kick-start from October 5, Kuldeep will look to repeat his heroics in the marquee event.

Since coming back from a knee injury, Kuldeep has worked on his arm speed and angles, helping him get a bagful of wickets in the middle overs.

India take on Bangladesh in their World Cup 2023 match at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune. While India are unbeaten after three games, Bangladesh have lost their last two games, having kicked off their campaign with a win. India and Bangladesh have squared off four times in ODI World Cups, with India winning three of those matches. Bangladesh's only win against India came during the 2007 World Cup in West Indies. However, Bangladesh have won three of the last four ODIs against India, including an Asia Cup Super Four Clash last month.
India spinner Kuldeep Yadav believes that he was able to create confusion in the minds of Pakistani batters as they went for high risk sweep shots despite failing to read his hand in the marquee World Cup clash here. Kuldeep took the important wickets of Saud Shakeel and Iftikhar Ahmed, both of whom went for the non existent sweep shot off the left arm wrist spinner, hastening the Pakistan collapse. Asked if he planned to bowl Iftikhar around his legs, Kuldeep gave an interesting reply.
India fired on all cylinders in what was supposed to be war minus the shooting, blowing away arch-rivals Pakistan by seven wickets in a World Cup face-off that ended in a damp squib after causing unbridled hysteria and logistical hassles. In what is seen as the pinnacle of cricket by fans in the subcontinent, Indian captain Rohit Sharma emerged as the undisputed star of the match, scoring a 63-ball 86 to power his team to the modest target of 192 with as many as 19.3 overs to spare.
Legendary Pakistan cricket team pacer Shoaib Akhtar was extremely unhappy with Babar Azam and Co after they were dismissed for just 191 during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against India at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday. Pakistan looked poised for a good total as Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam stitched together a gritty partnership but they lost wickets in a heap to fall well short of a par score. From 155 for the loss of two wickets, they were all out for 191 and Akhtar rued the loss of opportunity to post a competitive total on a wicket that was batter-friendly.
India and Pakistan will both put their winning run to test when the traditional rivals face each other in the Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday. Both the sides have won their first two matches in the competition and the winner of this match will find their place cemented as one of the firm favourites to win the title. The Indian cricket team has a huge advantage historically over Pakistan as they have never lost against them in ODI Cricket World Cup history.
