With the ODI World Cup around the corner, cricket expert Wasim Akram has started playing mind games. India is considered to be the strong contender after their successful Asia Cup 2023 campaign. Wasim Akram was impressed with India’s bowling unit and said that they displayed a never-to-say-die attitude.
Head coach Rahul Dravid would be aware of the fact that the side can’t go overboard as winning the championship won’t be easy for Rohit Sharma & Co. Rohit Sharma would be tested in crunch matches and the skipper is under scrutiny after the debacle of 2022 T20 WC where they lost against England in the semi-final.
It would be interesting to see as which batter bats in the middle order as both Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan have a surprise element. At the same time, we should not forget that Shreyas Iyer can take the team out of muddle whereas Ishan Kishan is relatively inexperienced to such scenarios.
