  • Before Cricket World Cup 2023, former Indian star gave special advice to Rohit Sharma and company.

    India performed strongly in the first match of the three-match ODI series against Australia. India won the match played in Mohali by five wickets. This victory took Team India to the top in the ODI rankings. This series is very important for both the countries in the final stages of preparation for the Cricket World Cup. Mohammed Shami, Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill performed brilliantly. All of them are part of India’s Cricket World Cup team. young batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad Also spread the shine of his bat. However, one aspect that the Indian cricket team management may be worried about before the Cricket World Cup is the team’s fielding. On many occasions, the stars of the Indian cricket team looked disappointed while fielding and while trying to take catches.

    Mohammad Kaif warned

    Former Indian cricket team star Mohammad Kaif has warned the team before the Cricket World Cup. He posted on X, ‘Caution: If India cannot take good catches then it may be out of the World Cup. The match can be won by batting and bowling but catching is also important for victory. Indian players dropped some easy catches and looked uncomfortable at times while fielding. Many times the ball was seen slipping from the hands of the fielders. KL Rahul also missed the runout.

    India is running with two fast bowlers

    Meanwhile, India’s policy of changing its fast bowling options ahead of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 has received support from veteran fast bowler Mohammed Shami. India has adopted a rotation policy for its fast bowlers since the beginning of the Asia Cup. According to this, at any point of time only two players, one Jasprit Bumrah and the other Mohammed Siraj or Mohammed Shami, are included in the playing eleven.

    This also means that medium pacer Shardul Thakur, who is more adept with the bat, has got more opportunities. However, this has helped in improving India’s batting. But this has reduced the opportunities for India’s full-time fast bowlers. Shami participated in only two matches in the Asia Cup. On Friday, he played the first ODI against Australia in Mohali and played a match-winning innings by taking five wickets. India won this match by five wickets.

    India is following rotation policy for fast bowlers

    Despite these returns, considering the rotation policy, Shami’s place in the playing eleven is not confirmed. However, Bengal’s fast bowlers are unperturbed by these developments. Shami supported this policy while speaking at the press conference after India’s win against Australia. He stressed the importance of players understanding their role, whether they are included in the playing eleven or not.

    Shami said this after being out of playing eleven

    According to an ICC release, Shami said that this is a part of the game. It is important to understand the needs of the team. It is not possible that you will always be a part of the playing eleven and team combination. When we play regularly, someone has to sit out. There’s no point in getting frustrated about it. Obviously, it is good if you are in the eleven but it is also important to be sensible when you are on the bench. That role is also very important.

    the rhythm must continue

    Entering the Australia series with a record eighth Asia Cup title, the Indian cricket team will be aiming to continue their winning streak.

    dew factor

    Given that the Cricket World Cup 2023 will be held in India during October-November, dew is expected to play an important role.

Today, in the match between India and Pakistan, KL Rahul has been given place in place of Shreyas Iyer.
