The upcoming ICC ODI World Cup in 2023 is set to kick off on October 5th. This highly anticipated tournament will take place in India, and fans of the Indian Cricket Team (ICT) are eagerly awaiting an exciting series of matches. Among these games is a much-awaited clash between India and Pakistan, scheduled for October 14th at the renowned Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The outcome of this blockbuster encounter, along with the semifinals and finals, will determine if India can claim the championship title. However, the Indian Team is currently facing challenges in finding the right combinations on the field.
Suryakumar Yadav’s performance in ODIs has been lackluster so far, posing concerns for the team. Additionally, injuries have sidelined key players such as KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah, and Shreyas Iyer. Despite his exceptional track record in ODIs, Sanju Samson has been given limited opportunities. The persisting issue of identifying a reliable number four batsman continues to haunt India’s team management as they have yet to find a suitable candidate for this crucial role in the ODI World Cup 2023. As of now, all hopes rest on Shreyas Iyer’s fitness; however, if he fails to recover in time, Ishan Kishan might be considered for the number four position by the Indian management.
