In the World Cup, the Indian team’s middle-order batting is still a weak link and Shreyas Iyer’s failure increased the team’s worries, while Suryakumar Yadav’s brilliant innings reduced the problems of the selectors and the team management. Shami is unlikely to get a place in the starting eleven in the Indian team’s World Cup plans, but the player strengthened his claim by taking five wickets for the second time in his ODI career.
India vs Australia
The pressure will increase on Shardul Thakur, a strong contender for a place in the playing eleven of the team due to his batting skills.
