On Wednesday, September 6, 2023, Rohit Sharma, the renowned cricketer, will be leading the Indian team in the Mumbai ODI Cricket World Cup. Serving as the vice-captain will be the talented Hardik Pandya. However, it is disappointing news for fans of Malayali wicketkeeper Sanju Samson as he was not included in the team. KL Rahul and Ishan Cisan are the chosen wicket takers.
The highly anticipated World Cup will take place in 10 cities across India, commencing from October 5 and culminating on November 19. Amongst the notable players representing the Indian team are Virat Kohli, Subhman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj, and Kuldeep Yadav.
This will mark Kohli’s fourth World Cup appearance, while it will be the third for Rohit, Jadeja, and Shami. Interestingly, eight players from the previous World Cup squad have retained their positions this year. On the other hand, six players will experience their first-ever World Cup. Notably absent from the team is the legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who has participated in four consecutive World Cups.
India’s opening match will be against Australia on October 8, a highly anticipated encounter for cricket enthusiasts. This year marks the 13th edition of the World Cup, with India having clinched victory in 2011 and 1983. Meanwhile, Australia holds an impressive record of five World Cup wins. As the current defending champions, England will aim to maintain their title, while New Zealand seeks to secure the runners-up position once again.
