Team India has been announced for the World Cup 2023. Indian selectors have rewarded Ishan Kishan for his consistent performances. At the same time, Yuzvendra Chahal has once again failed to win the trust of the selectors. Ravichandran Ashwin's experience has been ignored, so Sanju Samson has also not got a chance. Even though this team looks very balanced on paper, but the Indian selectors have made three big mistakes in choosing the team, the consequences of which may have to be borne by Team India in the World Cup.
The selection of Suryakumar Yadav in the World Cup 2023 team is definitely a bit shocking. Surya must be excellent in T20, but the 50-over format does not suit the Indian batsman. Surya has played a total of 26 ODIs for India so far and during this time only 511 runs have come out of his bat at a modest average of 24. Suryakumar has not been able to score a single century in ODIs till date.
Sanju Samson could have proved to be a better option than Surya. Sanju's record has been unmatched in the ODI format. The wicket-keeper batsman has played a total of 13 matches in the 50-over format so far and has scored 390 runs at an average of 55 with the bat. Sanju's strike rate is also better than Suryakumar
Indian selectors once again have faith in KL Rahul. Rahul has also been selected in the Asia Cup 2023 team, but he has not been able to play a single match so far. Even if Rahul becomes fit till the World Cup, what is the guarantee that his bat will yield runs in the mega event. The thing to remember is that Rahul has been away from cricket for about four to five months. In such a situation, whether he will be able to perform well when he comes on a big stage like the World Cup or not is a big question in itself.
World Cup 2023 is to be held on Indian soil. Spinners dominate Indian pitches. Ravichandran Ashwin's record is also unmatched on Indian soil. At the same time, Chahal knows the art of taking wickets at crucial times. However, despite this, the Indian selectors have not included these two legendary spinners in the World Cup team. This decision may prove costly for the selectors in the World Cup.
