The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team was successful in starting their ODI Cricket World Cup campaign on a winning not in Chennai on Sunday. India won the match by six wickets with more than eight overs to spare. However, the scoreboard does not tell the full story. Despite India dismissing Australia for a below-par 199 in the Cricket World Cup match, the progress was not smooth. India's chase started on a very shocking note as Rohit Sharma (0), Ishan Kishan (0) and Shreyas Iyer (0) went back to the pavilion by the second over.
Pakistani presenter Zainab Abbas, part of the ICC digital team covering the ODI Cricket World Cup, on Monday left India after facing backlash on social media over her alleged anti-India posts in the past but the sport's governing body insisted that she left the country due to personal reasons. Zainab left India from Hyderabad where she was deputed to cover Pakistan's three World Cup games in the city. The 35-year-old was present at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad for Pakistan's World Cup opener against the Netherlands on October 6. Posts from her unverified X account, formerly Twitter, had gone viral after she announced that she would be covering the ICC mega event in India.
India were off to a horrible start to the run chase against Australia in their opening match of Cricket World Cup 2023 on Sunday with skipper Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer all losing their wickets without scoring a single run. This was the second instance in Cricket World Cup history that both of India's openers were dismissed for a duck in the same match. Before Kishan and Rohit, the dubious feat was achieved by Krishnamachari Srikkanth and Sunil Gavaskar who were dismissed without disturbing the scorers against Zimbabwe in the 1983 Cricket World Cup. That match is incidentally etched in history books thanks to a stupendous 175-run knock by Kapil Dev that left the cricketing world stunned.
