The upcoming ODI World Cup is very close. This year this mega event will be hosted by India. The World Cup will start from October 5 and the first match will be between the defending champions England and New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The Indian team is considered a big contender to win this tournament, because home conditions may also support them a lot. Meanwhile, now former Indian team cricketer Mohammad Kaif has made a big prediction and has named the player of the Indian team who will prove to be the trump for captain Rohit Sharma in the tournament.
Actually, recently Mohammad Kaif made a tweet from his official X account. Sharing a picture of Rohit Sharma and Kuldeep Yadav, he said, 'Kuldeep Yadav can be Rohit Sharma's trump card in the World Cup. He is equally effective against all types of batsmen. Of his 141 ODI wickets, 81 have come to right-handed batsmen and 60 to left-handed batsmen. No wonder there is no off-spinner in the team.
Let us tell you that in the past Indian cricket management and captain Rohit Sharma have expressed a lot of faith in Kuldeep Yadav. Kuldeep Yadav has been picked over Yuzvendra Chahal, who is one of the most successful bowlers in the Indian team at present. In such a situation, it will be very interesting to see how Kuldeep Yadav's performance in the World Cup is.
Indian team for 2023 World Cup – Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya (vice-captain), Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Akshar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Suryakumar Yadav.
