The person who won the World Cup in 2011 thinks that Indian captain Rohit Sharma and young star Shubman Gill will be the key to the team’s success when they start the innings.
The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 is just three months away, so the countdown has started. For the first time, the main event will only take place in India, and it will start on October 5. As the host country, the Men in Blue will be under a lot of pressure to win the trophy and end a drought of over ten years without an ICC title. Harbhajan Singh, who used to play for India, named the most important players for the big game.
“When I talk about India, I always end up talking about your opening relationship. Rohit Sharma will be very important. Shubman Gill: I hope he’s on the team. If you don’t play him, it will be a shame. Shubman Gill will be the key, I think. Harbhajan said on Star Sports that he hits very well in Indian conditions.
Rohit Sharma scored the most runs in the 2019 World Cup. He had 648 runs in 10 games, which is an average of 81. The Indian leader will want to do the same thing in the next tournament, which will be held in his own country.
Shubman Gill, on the other hand, has done well in his short ODI career. He has made 1311 runs in 24 matches, averaging 65.55, with four hundred and five fifties. Harbhajan also said that Ravindra Jadeja was the most important player with the ball.
“If Ravindra Jadeja bowls like he did in the Indian Premier League, where he took more than 20 wickets,” he added.
In IPL 2023, Jadeja took 20 wickets.
Jadeja was a big reason why the Chennai Super Kings won the IPL 2023 for the fifth time, as he took 20 wickets in 16 matches at a good economy rate of 7.56. He also hit ten runs off the last two balls in the final, which helped his team win in a very exciting game.
Krishnamachari Srikkanth, who played for India and won the World Cup in 1983, thinks Jadeja will fill the same role as Yuvraj Singh did in the 2011 tournament. As an all-rounder, the southpaw is an important part of the team and will likely play a key role in the next game as well.
