Navigating their way through some extreme pressure moments in their tournament opener, India will be eyeing a near perfect game against a sprightly Afghanistan in the ODI World Cup in New Delhi on Wednesday. As pointed out by skipper Rohit Sharma, India's biggest challenge over the course of the league stage will be to quickly adapt to the conditions in nine different venues. After a slow and spinning track at Chepauk, a belter of a surface is expected at the Feroz Shah Kotla, where more than 700 runs were plundered in a high-scoring affair between South Africa and Sri Lanka last week.
At the end, the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team romped home to a comfortable six-wicket team in the side's first match of the ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 against Australia. In the Cricket World Cup match in Chennai, India had Australia on the mats after bowling out the former champions for a paltry 199. However, things could have gone horribly wrong for India after that as their famed top-order toppled. Rohit Sharma (0), Ishan Kishan (0) and Shreyas Iyer (0) went back to the hut within the first two overs with the scorecard reading 2/3 in the Cricket World Cup match.(India's full schedule | World Cup points table)
Virat Kohli and KL Rahul engineered one of the great fightbacks in ODI cricket as India defeated Australia to open their World Cup campaign in style in Chennai on Sunday.
Australia fast bowler Josh Hazlewood on Sunday absolved Mitchell Marsh of blame for committing one of cricket's biggest sins -- dropping a catch that would have seen the back of India superstar Virat Kohli. Chasing just 200 to win their high-profile World Cup clash, India looked like slipping to 20-4 when Kohli top-edged a pull to square leg where Marsh was waiting to gobble up the catch. However, possibly distracted by wicketkeeper Alex Carey also rushing to the danger area, Marsh let the ball slip to the ground.
The Indian cricket team emerged victorious against Australia in their Cricket World Cup 2023 opener on Sunday, with Virat Kohli and KL Rahul producing a brilliant partnership in the chase of 201 runs. However, if it wasn't for the dropped catch of Virat Kohli, things could've ended differently for the Indian team. The importance of Kohli's wicket is well known to not just fans but also his teammates. After India sealed the win, Ravichandran Ashwin admitted that the moment Kohli hit the ball in the air, he rushed out of the dressing room out of fear that the talismanic batter would be dismissed cheaply.
