World Cup 2023: One-Day International This year’s World Cup will be held in India in the months of October and November. India is planning to host a major tournament once more after a 12-year break. The Indian team would like to leave no possibility to win the biggest ODI format competition on its land, and for this, three such players in Team India should be given a chance. Team India won the last time in 2011, while Mahendra Singh Dhoni served as captain. who could be crucial in making India the champion.
Instead of this guy, Shikhar Dhawan might be given a shot
As openers for the Indian squad, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are currently performing well. But KL Rahul, the third opener, has been struggling for a while and is now recuperating from surgery. Shikhar Dhawan can be given an opportunity by removing KL Rahul from the ODI World Cup 2023 due to his poor performance.
This is due to two factors. First of all, Shikhar has only recently had the opportunity to play for Team India in a few ODI series, in which he has been playing well. He has also been performing consistently in the IPL, and his fitness is also appropriate. The second and main justification is Shikhar Dhawan’s stellar performance in ICC competitions. Shikhar won the 2013 Champions Trophy after amassing 363 runs in 5 games at an average of 90, including 2 centuries and 1 half-century.
Shikhar Dhawan went on to amass 412 runs in 8 games of the 2015 ODI World Cup, including 2 centuries and 1 half-century. After that, he amassed 338 runs in 5 matches during the 2017 Champions Trophy, including 1 century and 2 half-centuries. Gabbar can be included in Team India in World 2023 because he was the top scorer for India in each of these three competitions. Please mention that Shikhar Dhawan has 6793 runs in 167 One-Day Internationals, including 17 hundreds.
Sanju Samson might come back
After Rishabh Pant sustained an injury, Team India tried Ishaan Kishan and KS Bharat as wicket-keeper batters. However, neither of these wicket-keeper batsmen has performed well. Sanju Samson can thus take their place for a significant event like the ODI World Cup (2023) in Team India. Samson has performed admirably in recent ODIs, particularly with his batting and wicketkeeping. Samson has amassed 330 runs at an average of 66 in 11 ODIs.
This player may be replaced by Piyush Chawla
Piyush Chawla is a skilled and productive spinner. He performed well for Mumbai in the recently finished IPL 2023, taking 22 wickets in 16 games to rank fourth among bowlers for the season. He may be rewarded for his efforts by being selected for the World Cup 2023 ODI team rather than Yuzvendra Chahal or Kuldeep Yadav. For Team India, Piyush Chawla has taken 32 wickets in 25 ODIs.
The Team India of 2023 can be like this
Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Piyush Chawla, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Bhuvneshwar Kumar
