Gautam Gambhir has given his reaction regarding the World Cup to be held in 2023. He said that if the Indian team has to win the ODI World Cup title, then its playing XI will have to be strengthened.
It has been happening for a long time that the Indian team has not got any ICC trophy. The Indian team also has excellent players like Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli, they have a banging record. Despite the presence of the big players in the team, the Indian team has not been able to show its status in events like the World Cup. The team has missed the chance to win the World Cup three times in the last four years. Looking at this poor performance, it is felt that there is a lot in the Indian team which needs improvement.
The 2023 World Cup will be held in India
India will host the upcoming 2023 ODI World Cup. India hosted the last ODI World Cup in 2011. In the 2011 ODI, the host team won the World Cup trophy by defeating Sri Lanka in the final match. This time the World Cup is happening once again in India, so everyone’s expectations from the Indian team are high. At present, if we look at the performance of the Indian team, the performance of the Indian team in the ODI series is not going well. After the defeat from New Zealand, the Indian team also had to face defeat in the ODI against Bangladesh.
Players have to avoid frequent breaks.
Former Indian team batsman Gautam Gambhir has given his reaction to the ODI World Cup. Gautam Gambhir has played an important role in the Indian team as an opener during the two World Cup victories. Gautam Gambhir has mentioned some important things based on his experience. Gautam Gambhir said on the Star Sports show that India’s senior players and coach Rahul Dravid should stop taking frequent breaks from the team. Especially when such a big tournament is around the corner, this should not happen. This is a time when identifying your weaknesses and removing them should work with your strengths.
Suitable playing eleven should be selected from now
Apart from this, Gautam Gambhir put another important thing in front of the Indian team management. He said that if the Indian team has to win the World Cup, then a difficult decision regarding their playing XI will have to be taken now. It is necessary to determine the team at the right time. This is not the time to test the bench strength of the team.
Gautam Gambhir said that the Indian team has to select winning players for the World Cup, and they should prepare from now. Players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will also have to avoid breaks and make a core team and perform better in the World Cup.
