The ODI World Cup will be played in India this year. It will start on 5 October. While the final match will be played on 19 November. The Indian team has been announced for the tournament. 3 such shortcomings are being seen in this team, which can create problems for India in the tournament.
Indian World Cup Squad: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced its team for the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 to be hosted by India this year. KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah, who are returning after injury, have also got a place in this team.
Many people are satisfied with this Indian team of the World Cup, while many veterans have also criticized. Captain Rohit Sharma has even said that every time one or the other player is left out. Can't please everyone every time. There are 15 players to choose from. In this, many good players also have to be excluded.
ICC title not won for 10 years💪 💪
Despite lakhs of pleas of Captain and Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar, there are critics who do not seem to agree with him. But we have also done an analysis of this squad, in which we have found 3 major flaws. Please tell that the Indian team has not won any ICC title for 10 years.
The Indian team won the last ICC title in June 2013. Then under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Champions Trophy was named after him. This time the World Cup is happening in India only. But 3 major shortcomings are being seen in the Indian team. If these shortcomings come to the fore in the tournament, then this ICC title is also in danger of going out of hand. Let's know about these shortcomings.
No left hand batter in top-4
Only 4 left hand batsmen Ishan Kishan, Ravindra Jadeja, Akshar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav have been included in the 15-member Indian team. But the thing to see is that all of them come to bat in the middle order and below. Ishaan can open, but there is more scope to feed him at number 5 in the middle order.
If KL Rahul gets a chance in place of Ishaan as wicketkeeper, then understand that there will be no left hander till top-6. While Jadeja bats at number 7. On the other hand, it has been seen in the last few times that India's top order is seen in more trouble in front of the left arm fast bowler. In such a situation, the Indian team may have to face difficulties in this World Cup. Please tell that the Indian team of 2011 had Gautam Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh left handers in the top order.
lack of off spinner
The Indian team has a total of three spinners including two all-rounders. All-rounders are Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel. While the specialist spinner is Kuldeep Yadav. The special thing is that all three are left arm spinners. Among them, only Kuldeep is a wrist spinner, who is called a chinaman bowler. There is no off-spinner in the team. Ravichandran Ashwin and Washington Sundar were the contenders in the off-spinner.
The last time when the Indian team won the 2011 World Cup title, there were two off-spinners in the form of Harbhajan Singh and Ravichandran Ashwin. Among India's specialist batsmen, Rohit Sharma is the only one who can get off-spin. But it has been a long time since he bowled.❤
no left arm pacer
The Indian board has kept Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Mohammad Shami and Shardul Thakur as specialist fast bowlers in their squad. While Hardik Pandya is a fast bowling all-rounder. All these four are right arm pacers. In such a situation, the Indian team can miss the left arm pacer a lot. On the other hand, all other big teams have at least one left arm pacer.
Left arm pacer bowls from a different angle. In such a situation, he always troubles the left arm batter of the opposition team. When the left arm pacer brings his ball inwards, the chances of getting the batsmen out increase. The biggest example of this can be seen in Pakistan's pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi.
Arshdeep Singh could have been a better option as a left arm pacer in the Indian team, but he was not in BCCI's plan from the beginning. If you look at the Indian team that won the 2011 World Cup, left arm pacer Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra were present in it. He played an important role in destroying the opposition team.
