KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah and Shreyas Iyer are fighting with injuries. Suryakumar Yadav has failed to perform in the ODIs so far. Sanju Samson has been given only a few opportunities despite his brilliant record in the ODIs. The problem of finding a stable number four is still with India. The Indian Cricket Team management has failed to find a number four for the ODI World Cup 2023; now, everything depends on the fitness of Shreyas Iyer.
Jasprit Bumrah has successfully recovered from his back injury and has been appointed as the captain for the Ireland T20I Series, as Hardik Pandya takes some rest. The Indian pacer is on track to regain full fitness for the World Cup 2023. KL Rahul is also close to achieving match fitness and will be eligible for selection before the Asia Cup 2023. However, uncertainty remains regarding Shreyas Iyer’s future. Team India will be without Rishabh Pant’s services in the upcoming ODI World Cup. Yuzvendra Chahal is also expected to be dropped from World Cup 2023 plans.
