Rohit Sharma’s record as a captain in white ball cricket is superb. In such a situation, Team India will want to do the same under the leadership of Rohit in the ODI World Cup starting from October 5. Rohit has played 9 finals so far as a captain in white ball cricket and won all of them. Apart from the 2 Asia Cup titles, it also includes the T20 tri-series title. Rohit has led Mumbai Indians to 5 titles in IPL. Apart from this, he has also made Mumbai champions in the Champions League once as a captain. The Indian team is entering the World Cup at home as favourites. The last time the team won the World Cup at home was in 2011. That means the team has been waiting for the World Cup title for 12 years.
The team will be announced today
Team India is scheduled to play a 3-match ODI series against Australia from September 22 before the World Cup. This series is considered important in terms of World Cup preparations. The squad for the series will be announced today. However, former veteran Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram is not too excited about the series. After the Asia Cup final, he said that Team India is in rhythm. In such a situation, the series against Australia has no meaning. Due to which the players will be likely to get injured. Apart from this, their workload will also be affected.
Players like Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Washington Sundar and the famous Krishna can be given a chance in the series against Australia. Iyer and Surya are also included in the World Cup squad. However, due to injury, Iyer could play only one match in the Asia Cup. On the other hand, Suryakumar Yadav could not capitalize on the opportunity in the Asia Cup. His ODI record is nothing special.
