Former England captain Eoin Morgan said winning the Cricket World Cup in India would be a bigger achievement than when he guided the side to victory at the 50-overs showpiece on home soil four years ago.
India captain Rohit Sharma is one of the finest batters in the world of cricket. From playing mammoth knocks to playing one of the most sensible innings, there is hardly anything the star could not do in batting. However, even the best get to face challenges and some even trouble them to a great extent; left-arm pacers have been such a concern for Rohit. Pakistan's ace pacer Shaheen Afridi, who is a left-handed speedster, has managed to keep the batter under pressure more often than not when the side has met India.
Team India is all set to kick off its Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign on October 8 with a match against Australia in Chennai. Before Rohit Sharma and company begin their quest for the world title, former India captain Ravi Shastri has made a bold statement. Shastri believes that left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav's place in the playing XI of India is not confirmed. He added that Kuldeep could cement his place during the Cricket World Cup 2023 only if he starts the tournament on a 'brilliant' note.
BENGALURU : New Zealand captain Kane Williamson spent the last few months nursing a knee injury but the form he has showed since his return ahead of the Cricket World Cup made it seem like he had never been away, stand-in skipper Tom Latham said on Wednesday.
Sanju Samson has been the topic of several discussions among fans and experts alike after the wicket-keeper batter was left out of India's Cricket World Cup 2023 squad. He was a part of the Asia Cup 2023 squad as a back-up but he did not play any matches and had to return before the final against Sri Lanka. Ahead of the Cricket World Cup, India were in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala for their practice match against the Netherlands and there was a huge poster of Samson where the team was practicing. The cricketer posted the picture on his social media accounts along with a heartwarming message for his teammates - "With Team India @ Gods own country !!".
Rinku Singh has made a name for himself with his explosive brand of batting and that was once again in display during the Asian Games 2023 quarter-final match against Nepal on Tuesday. The left-handed batter came out to bat at No. 6 and ended up scoring 37 runs off just 15 deliveries with the help of 2 boundaries and 4 sixes. Rinku started his innings on a positive note and looked dangerous as he slammed sixes off Abinash Bohara and Rohit Paudel in consecutive overs. However, the true hard-hitting performance came in the final over of the Indian innings as Rinku Singh took on Nepal fast bowler Abinash Bohara and ended up slamming two boundaries and two sixes in the over.
India's superstar cricketers endured a 3,400km (2,170 miles) cross-country journey to play a Cricket World Cup warm-up only for the match to be abandoned without a ball being bowled on Tuesday. India were to face the Netherlands in Thiruvananthapuram, on the southern tip of India, but they were left kicking their heels due to torrential rain. On Saturday, their scheduled game against defending champions England up in the north-eastern city of Guwahati was also washed out. In total, the wet weather has so far forced three warm-up matches to be abandoned while three others have been rain-affected, leaving teams and players frustrated ahead of the tournament's start on Thursday.
Former Indian cricket team spinner Harbhajan Singh believes that Ravichandran Ashwin is one of the top bowling choices for the Rohit Sharma-led side right now and the team management should consider playing him in the Cricket World Cup 2023. The inclusion of Ashwin in the World Cup squad was met with varied reactions from fans and experts after he made a decent comeback in the ODI series against Australia where he took four wickets in two matches. Ashwin replaced the injured Axar Patel in the final Cricket World Cup squad after he was ruled out following the injury he picked up during Asia Cup 2023.
