The Indian cricket team is unstoppable at the Cricket World Cup. On Sunday, the Rohit Sharma-led side defeated South Africa to register an eighth straight win the ODI Cricket World Cup 2023. Batting first, India notched a huge total of 326/5 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Then Indian bowlers continued their fiery show to dismiss the Proteas for just 83 as India romped home to a 243-win. With the win, the Indian cricket team is assured of a top finish in the round-robin stage at the Cricket World Cup 2023.
It has been a disastrous Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign for defending champions England who have won just one out of their six matches in the tournament till now. With just two points, the Jos Buttler-led side is at the bottom of the table as their latest defeat came against India on Sunday. The bowlers were able to restrict India to 229 but a uninspiring batting display saw them getting all out for 129. Former India batter Gautam Gambhir pointed out that veteran cricketer Joe Root has failed to perform in the competition and his form has been the most "damaging thing" for the English batting line-up.
India continued to show their dominance at the ongoing ODI World Cup as the hosts brutally thrashed England by 100 runs on Sunday. Asked to bat first, the Rohit Sharma-led side posted a modest total of 229/9 with the skipper playing the crucial knock of 87. However, the momentum of the game completely changed in the second innings when Indian pacers took the matter into their own hands. Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah scalped four and three wickets respectively as England were bundled out for 129.
The Indian cricket team is going through a purple patch at the Cricket World Cup 2023. In an absolute domination over other teams, India have won their first six matches. The wins have stood on some solid show by the Indian top order and the bowlers. So far, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been the top two run-scorers of the Indian cricket team. The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team looks almost set for a semi-final berth with the form they are in.
Former India opening batter Gautam Gambhir reserved high praise for Afghanistan after their win over Pakistan in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup on Monday.

This was Afghanistan's first win over Pakistan in ODIs, and their second overall in the World Cup this time, having humiliated England a few days. Taking to Instagram, Gambhir praised the Afghanistan team, saying that they cannot be considered as "underdogs" anymore.
The Babar Azam-led Pakistan cricket team is in a tricky situation at the Cricket World Cup. They have lost against teams like India and Australia. The race to semi-final is still open but the Babar Azam-led side needs to win a series of matches to keep their path smooth in the last four race. Ahead of the Cricket World Cup, much was expected from Pakistan captain Babar Azam. Ranked among the top batters in the world, Babar Azam is often considered one of the best batting talents in the modern era. (World Cup 2023 points table)
The Indian cricket team's selection committee has never been away from criticism and the MSK Prasad-led panel was no exception. The team selection during the 2019 ODI World Cup put the committee under scanner as it dropped an experienced player Ambati Rayudu, India's number 4 batter, and included all-rounder Vijay Shankar in the squad instead. Gautam Gambhir, while commentating during the India vs New Zealand 2023 Cricket World Cup match in Dharamsala on Sunday, criticised the MSK Prasad-led panel by calling it the "worst selection committee".
