ODI World Cup 2023: Less than two months remain until the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup in India, and veteran Yuvraj Singh is among the cricket experts and ex-players who have returned to provide their valuable insights. One of the greatest spin all-rounders of all time and the hero of India’s 2011 World Cup victory, Yuvraj Singh, discussed India’s prospects of winning the ODI World Cup 2023 this year under senior opener Rohit Sharma’s captaincy. He stated, “A captain is only as a good team.”
Yuvraj Singh on ODI World Cup 2023
Senior players like Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, and Yuvraj himself were on the Indian squad that won the World Cup in 2011. Before competing in the 2011 ODI World Cup, all of these players participated in two World Cups while MS Dhoni served as captain. Speaking on this, he said, “Rohit Sharma is a good captain, but you will have to give a good team to him. MS Dhoni was a good captain too, but he had a good team with experienced players.”
Continuing further, he said, “I think Rohit has become a very good leader because he has led Mumbai Indians in IPL for such a long time. And He is a very sensible guy under pressure. You need to give a good team to a sensible captain who is experienced as well. MS Dhoni was a good captain, but he also got a good team right?”
Key players to make a comeback
Key Indian players Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, and Shreyas Iyer are expected to return for the ODI World Cup, with the exception of Rishabh Pant. The Indian cricket team hasn’t taken home an ICC trophy in the previous ten years, but this is their best opportunity to make history by taking home the prized trophy for a record-tying third time.
