Rohit Sharma, captain of India, underlined his faith in the potent armament at his disposal as they prepare for their heroic quest for a third ICC ODI World Cup 2023 victory. This Sunday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Rohit Sharma will captain the Men in Blue as they compete against the five-time champions, Australia.
When asked about the team’s approach, the India opener said that veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin may be added to the starting lineup for the match in Chepauk, under the direction of coach Rahul Dravid. The lively Hardik Pandya was also praised by the Indian skipper, who described him as a true fast bowler rather than merely a seamer.
“Yeah, I guess that’s the luxury we have, since I don’t really think of Hardik Pandya as just a seamer, that we can afford to play three spinners. Hardik is a legitimate fast bowler with good acceleration. That therefore gives us a benefit. As a result, we have the luxury of using three spinners and three seamers simultaneously.
So, there’s a chance of it, Rohit Sharma said at the news conference prior to the game.
Observe the schedule for the 2023 ODI World Cup.
Before the initial match, Rohit Sharma suggests that India would make changes to the starting lineup.
The 36-year-old hinted at a consistent team in the chase of history as India seeks to win back-to-back World Cups on home turf. He emphasized that the playing XI can change depending on the circumstances and the opposition, and that we must be ready for these adjustments.
“Therefore, the team’s key members will not change. You will continue to use players 8, 9, and 10. There may be one or two small adjustments here and there, which you must be prepared to accept, deal with, and move past.
