Who Is India's Best Player So Far At ICC Cricket World Cup 2023?

India are off to a terrific start in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, with four wins on the trot. India, hosting the 50-over World Cup for the first time after winning it in 2011, are relishing playing in home conditions. Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah are currently leading the run-scoring and wicket-taking list, leading India's charge for a third ODI World Cup title. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul have been impressive with the bat, while Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav are doing a lot of damage with their spin. There have been some other great individual performances from the 2011 champions, but who has been the best player so far in the tournament? Although it is a close call, skipper Rohit Sharma's impactful contribution deserves the plaudits.

Rohit Sharma, who was out for a duck in the opening match against Australia, has been producing quickfire starts and leading India's run chases. In four matches, Rohit has scored 265 runs at an average of 66.25 but most importantly, his strike rate of 137.31 has eased the pressure off the middle order significantly.

Team India has batted second in all four matches so far, with their highest chase being 273 against Bangladesh and the lowest being 192 against Pakistan. Chasing these tricky totals, Rohit Sharma's explosive starts are putting the side in a dominant position and the field-restricted overs are being utilised to the best effect possible.

The 35-year-old batter scored his 31st ODI century against Afghanistan in Delhi. Chasing 273 runs, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan added a 156-run opening stand in only 18.4 overs. Rohit was dismissed for 131 off 84 balls, as India ended up chasing the target with 15 overs to spare.
