When Team India takes the field on November 19, 2023, it will be their fourth ODI World Cup final. In the final, they would face the mighty Australian team. This iconic clash will take place inside Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi stadium. The two teams have previously met in this tournament, with India winning by six wickets.
India will enter the final with a lot of confidence, having won the tournament 10 times in a row. To defeat the five-time world champions, the team’s players must be at their best. Team India has talent in every department, but some standout individual performances may be required.
3 players to shine in ODI World Cup final:
3) Rohit Sharma:
Rohit Sharma, the Indian team’s captain, has been in outstanding form with the bat. If there were any doubts about his form before the tournament, the batter has dispelled them. His attacking approach has paid dividends for the team since the first over. From the first ball, he applies pressure to the team’s strike bowlers.
Fans of the Indian team will be hoping that Rohit Sharma can maintain his lethal form in the final. He’d like to shake the ghosts of the Australian bowling that got him out for a duck in the first game of the ODI World Cup 2023. If he gets going, the Australians will have a difficult time dealing with him.
He is an Indian international cricketer who currently serves as the captain of the Indian national cricket team in all formats. Sharma, widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen of his generation, is known for his timing, elegance, six-hitting prowess, and leadership abilities. He holds the record for the most international sixes in all formats, as well as the most number sixes in a calendar year. He bats right-handed for the Indian national cricket team in international cricket, the Mumbai Indians in the IPL, and Mumbai in domestic cricket.
2) Jasprit Bumrah:
Jasprit Bumrah’s return was critical for the Indian team. He is currently one of the best bowlers in the world in any format of the game. His ability to stay economical while taking wickets at crucial times is unrivalled. Another brilliant aspect of him is that he can be called upon at any time and delivers when it is most needed.
In the ODI World Cup 2023, he is one of the top five wicket-takers. He is one of Team India’s most dangerous assets heading into the final. The team would rely on him to take early wickets to put the country ahead. His lethal yorkers would be critical in neutralizing Glenn Maxwell’s threat in the death overs.
He is an Indian international cricketer who has represented his country in all formats of the game. Bumrah, a right-arm fast bowler with a distinctive bowling action, is currently regarded as one of the best bowlers in the world. He plays domestic cricket for Gujarat and the Indian Premier League for Mumbai Indians.
1) Virat Kohli:
Virat Kohli, the former Team India captain, is leaving no stone unturned in this ODI World Cup 2023. He is likely to finish as the tournament’s leading run-scorer, having already scored 711 runs. He is the most dangerous threat to the Australian team in the final, having five fifties and three centuries to his name.
Everyone knows that Virat Kohli enjoys exacting vengeance, and he is haunted by a few Australian ghosts. His failures in the 2015 ODI World Cup semi-final and the 2023 World Test Championship final may still be fresh in his mind. He’d be looking to avenge that on the grandest stage of all.
He is a former captain of the Indian national cricket team and an international cricketer from India. He currently plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League and Delhi in domestic cricket. Kohli is widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in cricket history.
He has the most runs scored in T20Is and the IPL. The International Cricket Council named him the male cricketer of the decade in 2020. Kohli is currently the fourth-highest run-scorer in international cricket and the second-highest international century-scorer. He also holds the record for most centuries scored in One Day International cricket. Kohli played for India in the 2011 Cricket World Cup and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy.
