<p><em>Gautam Gambhir wants Team India to win the next ICC World Cup ASAP.</em></p>



<p>Indian former cricketer Gautam Gambhir feels that now is the high time when the men in blues should win the World Cup tournament. India won the last ICC trophy back in 2013 as Champions Trophy. However, since then India has slipped from the knockout games or in finals.</p>



<p>In the 2019 ODI World Cup, India lost to New Zealand in the semi-finals despite performing brilliant in the group stages and topping the charts.&nbsp;</p>



<p>On 2nd April 2021, India will be completing 10 years of the ICC ODI World Cup 2011. Gambhir was the part of the outfit to win the tournament and played a brilliant 97 runs knock to keep India in the hunt. India won the game and the tournament against Sri Lanka as MS Dhoni hit the six to finish the game.</p>



<p>Gambhir does feel that the game is so close to everyone heart but does not understand why there are so much hype and nostalgia behind it. He said that Team India should now target the next world Cup and make sure to bring that home.</p>



<p>The 39-years old former cricketer further stated that India should move on from that victory. We should be proud of that but India should move on and win the next ICC event on the list.</p>



<p>?It doesn?t feel like yesterday. Not for me at least. It?s been what, 10 years now? I am not a person who looks back too much. Obviously, it?s a proud moment but you know what, it?s time for Indian cricket to move forward. Probably, now it?s time that we win the next World Cup ASAP,? Gambhir told PTI in an interview.</p>



<p>Gambhir reckons that the 2011 World Cup was meant to be ours because it was played in India. The selectors went out to select the team to win the tournament not just to compete.&nbsp;</p>



<p>?In 2011, we didn?t do anything that we weren?t meant to do. When we were picked to play the World Cup, we were supposed to win the World Cup. When we were selected, we didn?t just go out there to compete, we went out there to win. There were no such emotions as far as I was concerned. We didn?t do anything extraordinary, yes we made the country proud, people were happy, it?s time to move on to the next World Cup,? he added.</p>

<p><em>ICC T20 World Cup 2021: Indian government to issue Visas to Pakistani Cricketers for the ICC T20 World Cup.</em></p>



<p><strong>ICC T20 World Cup 2021: </strong>The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday announced that the Pakistani Cricket Team will not face any issues travelling to India for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup as the government will grant visas to the players of the neighbouring nation.</p>



<p>In the recent Apex Council Meeting, BCCI secretary Jay Shah informed every member about the decision of the government to grant Visas to the Pakistani players.</p>



<p>"The visa issue of Pakistan cricket team has been sorted. However whether the fans can travel across the border to watch matches is still not clear," an Apex Council member told PTI.</p>



<p>"It will be decided in due course of time. However, we had promised ICC that it will be sorted. The secretary announced during the meeting."</p>



<p>Ehsan Mani who is the chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) earlier said they will need full assurance from the Indian counterpart for the safety of the players.</p>



<p>He further added that the Pakistani team would take part in the ICC T20 World Cup which will be hosted by India with full dignity and protocol and need complete written assurance from ICC.</p>



<p>?I have informed the board that the BCCI was supposed to give us visa assurances by 31st December but that didn?t happen because their President, Saurav Ganguly was twice hospitalised,? he said at a media conference here.</p>



<p>?But I have now again taken up this matter with the ICC and am in touch with them. I also have another virtual conference with them tomorrow on this issue. The ICC has told us that we will get our written confirmation by the end of next month.?</p>



<h2><strong>ICC T20 World Cup 2021 Venues:</strong></h2>



<p>BCCI has also released the final venue list for the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 and it has been decided that the newly revamped Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad will host the final of the World Cup.</p>



<p>Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Dharamsala will host the other matches.</p>



<p>Both India and Pakistan have not taken part in any biletral cricketing action for many years now due to the existing border tensions between the two nations.?</p>

<p><em>ICC T20 World Cup 2021: Strongest Playing XI for India in T20 World Cup 2021 backed by experts.</em></p>



<p><strong>India?s Playing XI in T20 World Cup: </strong>With a B-string Indian team playing against Sri Lanka in the upcoming three matches T20Is following the last ODI on 23rd July, the auditions will be over for the places up for grabs in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 squads for India. Although the remaining 31 matches of the IPL 2021 could possibly help players secure a few slots in the World Cup squad, it will demand a blazing performance from the cricketers.</p>



<p>The Indian Cricket board already got a glimpse of a few players who showed great encouragement and will secure their places in the squad.</p>



<p>A clear idea of what the Indian squad will look like will be in front of us once Shikhar Dhawan reveals the actual playing11 for the first T20I against Sri Lanka.</p>



<p>Here in this article, we have picked the strongest possible playing XI for India in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2021 that is actually backed by the experts.</p>



<h2>ICC T20 World Cup 2021: Strongest Playing XI for India in T20 World Cup 2021 backed by experts:</h2>



<h3>Openers:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/07/Rohit-Sharma-and-KL-Rahul.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul in T20Is (Strongest Playing XI for India in T20 World Cup 2021 backed by experts)" class="wp-image-65612"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul in T20Is</figcaption></figure>



<h3><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">#1. Rohit Sharma (Vice-Captain):</mark></h3>



<p>The limited-overs deputy of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma will be the automatic choice advancing in the ICC event. There have been certain questions about Rohit Sharma?s longest format career, which he will be looking to answer in the upcoming Test series against England, however, his legacy in the white-ball format is well known and can?t be neglected.</p>



<p>The ?Hitman? of Indian cricket has shown his class and composure all over the world in the shortest format scoring tons of runs against every side.</p>



<p>Sharma is the most capped Indian cricketer in the T20Is with 111 appearances and is only behind Pakistan?s Shoaib Malik. Moreover, the cricketer has amassed 2864 runs at a strike rate of 138.96 along with four daddy tons and 22 half-centuries.</p>



<h3><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">#2. KL Rahul:</span></strong></h3>



<p>Owing to his brilliant form in the recent IPL 2021, KL Rahul will certainly make it to the playing XI for India in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup.</p>



<p>Rahul has shown good signs for India pairing with Rohit Sharma in the T20Is and also fits in the combination with a high scoring rate.</p>



<p>Although Shikhar Dhawan has also been there as a tough competitor in the opening slot, a better strike rate and record in the T20Is puts KL Rahul up in the driving seat.</p>



<p>In the 45 innings for India, Rahul has amassed 1557 runs at a strike rate of 142 with two centuries and 12 half-centuries.</p>



<h3>Middle-Order:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/03/Virat-Kohli.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli (Strongest Playing XI for India in T20 World Cup 2021 backed by experts)" class="wp-image-39596"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Virat Kohli</figcaption></figure>



<h3><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">#3. Virat Kohli (Captain):</mark></h3>



<p>There is no competition of this man in the entire world. Virat Kohli has led all the races in which he took part and has been the best of the best.</p>



<p>The skipper of the Indian side will claim his position at number three, although he proclaimed to open the innings.</p>



<p>Kohli didn?t perform to his calibre in the IPL 2021 first half while opening the innings with Devdutt Padikkal which certainly breaks the idea of him opening with Rohit Sharma in presence of KL Rahul or Shikhar Dhawan.</p>



<p><br>Virat has plundered a massive 3159 runs in 84 innings of the T20Is and has an average of over 50.</p>



<h3><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">#4. Rishabh Pant (Wicket-Keeper):</mark></h3>



<p>The Indian fans will watch the services from Rishabh Pant at number 4 for India in the forthcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2021.</p>



<p>With what Rishabh Pant has shown us in the past few months, he has been inevitable in the Indian side across formats. His audacity and supreme intelligence to pull off unimaginable blinders have kept all of us in awe of his batting style.</p>



<p>Moreover, his improved wicketkeeping skills have provided confidence to step up and win matches for his team.</p>



<p>Talking about his stats, the southpaw has scored 512 in 29 innings for India at an average of 21.33.</p>



<p><strong>ICC T20 World Cup 2021: Strongest Playing XI for India in T20 World Cup 2021 backed by experts</strong></p>



<h3><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">#5. Suryakumar Yadav:</mark></h3>



<p>The Indian management and experts are amazed to see what this grown man has to offer India. In such a short time since his T20I debut, Suryakumar Yadav has presented himself as one of the most dependable batsmen in the Indian team.</p>



<p>In recent India vs Sri Lanka ODIs, Yadav scored his maiden half-century in the second game. He looked in brilliant touch even though the situations favoured the opposition.</p>



<p>Talking about his 2 innings T20I experience with India, Yadav has scored 89 runs at a strike rate of 185.</p>

<h3>All Rounders:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/06/Hardik-Pandya.jpg" alt="T20 World Cup 2021: All-rounder Hardik Pandya hopeful to bowl in the ICC World Cup 2021" class="wp-image-64798"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Hardik Pandya</figcaption></figure>



<h3><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">#6. Hardik Pandya:</mark></h3>



<p>The young dashing all-rounder Hardik Pandya is the biggest asset for India. Although he has not shown any encouraging signs in the recent past due to various injuries and niggles, he has proved his worth more often than not.</p>



<p>Hardik was in sensational form in the Australia series and bowled really well in recent India vs England home T20Is series.</p>



<p>We all know what he can do with the bat, but his honed bowling skills will be an added advantage for India advancing to the World Cup.</p>



<p>As far as his stats are concerned, the all-rounder scored with a strike rate of 147.66 and has 41 wickets in 48 matches.</p>



<h3><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">#7. Ravindra Jadeja:</mark></h3>



<p>Virat Kohli and Indian management will also require the services of all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja in the World Cup.</p>



<p>He is a complete package of the best player in the world. He is brilliant with both bat and ball.</p>



<p>He has shown improvements lately and that can be seen by his performance in the last Australia tour and the IPL 2021.</p>



<p>He has smacked huge sixes with willow in hand and tricked the batters against his left-arm spin bowling. Moreover, the southpaw has not spared anyone who dared to take on his rocket arm throw while fielding.</p>

<p><strong>ICC T20 World Cup 2021: Strongest Playing XI for India in T20 World Cup 2021 backed by experts</strong></p>



<h3>Bowlers:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/04/Bhuvneshwar-Kumar.jpg" alt="Bhuvneshwar Kumar (Strongest Playing XI for India in T20 World Cup 2021 backed by experts)" class="wp-image-40937"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Bhuvneshwar Kumar</figcaption></figure>



<h3><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">#8. Shardul Thakur:</mark></h3>



<p>Shardul Thakur had a horrible outing in the first half of the IPL 2021 where he was smacked by the batsman all over the park. Moreover, the pacer struggled to find the correct line and length for him.</p>



<p>However, his brilliance in the England series can?t be overshadowed. Thakur remained the stand out performer for India in the limited-overs series against England.</p>



<p>The bowling all-rounder has a knack for conceding runs but makes sure to pick wickets in the succession to put the opposition on backfoot.</p>



<p>He also fits in Virat?s thoughts to pick the Indian team that can bat deep and can go after the bowlers in the backend.</p>



<h3><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">#9. Bhuvneshwar Kumar:</mark></h3>



<p>India will look to have the abilities of Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the T20 World Cup.</p>



<p>His everlasting injuries have kept him away from the white jersey for India, however, his limited-overs form is consistently improving.</p>



<p>He was brilliant in England?s T20Is by not only preventing batsmen score runs but also picked wickets.</p>



<p>His experience in the short format will be crucial for India. Moreover, his ability to score a couple of runs at the end of the innings will come in handy.</p>



<p>The pacer has clipped off 45 wickets in 48 matches for India at an economy of 6.98.</p>



<h3><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">#10. Jasprit Bumrah:</mark></h3>



<p>The name all of us want in our teams, Jasprit Bumrah will be the man to lead the pace attack of India.</p>



<p>No pacer can replace Bumrah unless there is any fitness issue.</p>



<p>India has looked at Bumrah to deliver when there is any need of emergency and the pacer has delivered more often than not.</p>



<p>His pinpoint yorkers along with unexpected slower balls make a deadly combination in the shortest format where the batsman always try to smack the bowler.</p>



<p>Bumrah has scalped 59 in 50 matches for India in the T20Is at an impressive economy of 6.66.</p>



<h3><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">#11. Yuzvendra Chahal:</mark></h3>



<p>The leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal deserves to be in the T20I team for India. He was piped out due to the presence of a couple of young leg spinners, however, his experience has worked for him in the past.</p>



<p>Chahal is performing outstandingly well in ongoing India vs Sri Lanka ODI series and is the pick of the bowlers for India.</p>



<p>The spinner has picked up 62 wickets for India in 48 matches at an economy of 8.40.</p>

<p><strong>Pakistan might get knocked out in the first round of T20 World Cup 2022, says Shoaib Akhtar: </strong>Pakistan on Thursday announced their 15-man squad for next month's ICC Men's T20 World Cup in Australia. Shaheen Afridi will join the team again after recovering from a knee injury. There was also a lot of pressure from fans and the cricket fraternity to pick Shan Masood, who has been in great form recently, and he too managed to find a spot. </p>



<p>Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has hit out at Pakistan's chief selector Mohammad Wasim and head coach Saqlain Mushtaq after the squad was announced for the T20 World Cup 2022. Last Thursday, Shoaib Akhtar put a video on his YouTube channel, in which he inraged upon the selectors of the Pakistan team and the head coach of the team.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIYlywSYvAw&amp;ab_channel=ShoaibAkhtar
</div></figure>



<p>The Rawalpindi Express said that the chief selector had put forth a disappointing squad and the problem was the middle order, our middle order was exposed in front of Sri Lanka at the Asia Cup but the team is still unchanged.</p>



<h2><strong>Shoaib Akhtar on Pakistani team Selectors</strong></h2>



<p>Shoaib Akhtar started off with some heavy words, "It is said that average people like average people, and we cannot expect any extraordinary decisions from average people. &nbsp;Saqlain (Mushtaq) last played cricket in 2002, I don?t want to say this as he is my friend, but I don?t think he has any idea about T20 cricket. I don?t think this is your forte," he added, "Meanwhile, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Yousuf_(cricketer)" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mohammad Yousuf</a> is in the team. If he was, how could our batting not perform? Yousuf is an asset in the dressing room, but I don't know how much he has a say in this team. Iftikhar Ahmed is Misbah Part Two. Mashallah, we had Rizwan and now he has Iftikhar for the company."</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/fakhar-and-rizwan-1-1.jpg" alt="Fakhar and RIzwan" class="wp-image-93605"/><figcaption>Fakhar should open, says Arthur. IC @ANI</figcaption></figure>



<p>Akhtar especially came down heavily on the selectors for not including Fakhar Zaman in the main team with Babar Azam as the opener, instead choosing him as a reserve player. "Fakhar Zaman, I have said this a million times that give six overs to Fakhar Zaman as the Australian conditions will suit him and keep Babar at the top," Akhtar added.</p>



<p><strong><mark style="background-color:#fdbf15" class="has-inline-color">ALSO READ:</mark></strong> <strong><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/babar-and-rizwan-are-not-going-to-win-you-tournaments-says-aaqib-javed/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Babar and Rizwan are not going to win you tournaments, says Aaqib Javed</a></strong></p>



<p><strong>"If this is how you want to go to Australia, then Australia is not standing for you with flower faces.</strong> <strong>With this team, we might get knocked out in the first round itself. I am scared as our batting has no depth,"</strong> he maintained</p>



<p>He also mentioned the Pakistani skipper, Babar Azam, "Our captain is also not cut out for this format as he always looks for classic cover drives. He wants to look classic." He later said, "I think if the Pakistani team did not perform well with this batting line-up in Australia or got exposed again, then I am telling you, not only the Pakistani selector, coaches but also Rameez Raja left (Chairman of PCB), he will not survive till November."</p>



<p>He concluded by saying, "I reiterate that with this middle order, this World Cup is going to be very difficult for Pakistan. The first match is against a team like India and this time there are other teams too, not only India. Best of luck to the team but I'm really really really angry about the selection they have made."</p>

<p>The World Cup 2023 is around the corner. The Indian cricket team is gearing up for the tournament. The BCCI annual meeting has ended, and one of the major points of the meeting was that the BCCI has shortlisted 20 players for selection in the ICC World Cup 2023. There are many players who deserve a spot. The domestic talent pool is large too. But for ease of selection, this filtering is essential. So, which player may have made the cut? Here is a look:?</p>

<p>The BCCI has also given a provision for the selection of players via domestic performances. This will allow all the national players a fair chance. Domestic giants such as Rajat Patidar, Rahul Tripathi, Umran Malik, and Shahbaz Ahmed can still try to get a slot in the top 15 for the ICC World Cup 2023. The Indian team will be keenly looking for a good spin combination as the World Cup will be played in India, where tracks are very spin friendly.</p>

<p>The BCCI will also focus on the fitness of the players and will be using the players on a rotation basis. Every series is likely to feature a new set of players to allow a fair number of opportunities to this huge talent pool. This will also permit rest time. Rehabilitation programs will be organized for special players or players of the elite division. Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah are a few injury-prone players who are irreplaceable. &nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>ICC ODI World Cup 2023: </strong>The 2023 ODI World Cup is slated for October and November 2023 in India, with ten teams hustling for the ICC prestigious trophy in the ICC mega event. The last time India hosted the ICC ODI World Cup was in 2011 when the hosts ultimately won the tournament. After 12 long years, India has been given the opportunity to host the ODI World Cup, so let's see if we can bring back the cup. This article will lead you through ICC ODI World Cup 2023 Schedule, Teams and Full Squads, Venues, Timing, Tickets, Points table, and more.</p>



<p>The reigning ICC World Cup champions, England, defeated New Zealand in a dramatic super-over after the game was tied to claim victory. The tournament was hosted in England in 2019. It's noteworthy that England and New Zealand both had equal super-over scores. Nevertheless, the former team was crowned as the winner based on the total number of boundaries. New Zealand has only scored 17 boundaries, compared to England's 26.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Cricket-World-Cup-2019-Winner-England.jpg" alt="Cricket World Cup 2019 Winner - England" class="wp-image-98156" /></figure>



<p>India won the last ICC trophy 'The ICC Champions trophy' back in 2013 under the leadership of legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni. After that, the Men In Blue, however, played exceptionally well but never came out as winners in any of the ICC tournaments even after reaching the finals or semi-finals.</p>



<p>Let's take a look at the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 Schedule, Teams and Full Squads, Venues, Timing, Tickets, Points table, and more:</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#icc-odi-world-cup-2023-schedule-and-venues">ICC ODI World Cup 2023 Schedule and Venues</a></li><li class=""><a href="#icc-odi-world-cup-2023-teams-and-squads">ICC ODI World Cup 2023 Teams and Squads</a></li><li class=""><a href="#icc-world-cup-2023-super-league-points-table">ICC World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table</a></li><li class=""><a href="#icc-odi-world-cup-2023-ticket-booking">ICC ODI World Cup 2023: Ticket booking</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<h2 id="icc-odi-world-cup-2023-schedule-and-venues"><strong>ICC ODI World Cup 2023 Schedule and Venues</strong></h2>



<p>The ODI World Cup in 2023 is anticipated to begin on October 5 and end on November 19. Also, it is reported that the BCCI, which is hosting the showpiece 10-team event, has whittled down its options to at least a dozen venues, with the world's largest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad serving as the host for the title fight.</p>



<p>Apart from Ahmedabad, the shortlist also includes Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Dharamsala, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Indore, and Rajkot. Over the course of the 46-day competition, 48 matches, including three knockout rounds, will be played.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>SL.

<p>The ICC typically releases the schedules for the World Cup at least a year in advance, however, this time it has also been expecting for the BCCI to receive the required approvals from the Indian government. This involves two major concerns: obtaining a tax exemption for the event and securing visa permission for the Pakistani team, which hasn't competed in India since early 2013 outside of ICC matches.</p>



<h2 id="icc-odi-world-cup-2023-teams-and-squads"><strong>ICC ODI World Cup 2023 Teams and Squads</strong></h2>



<p>The ICC World Cup in 2023 will include a total of 10 teams. India will receive the benefit of automatic qualification to the marquee event as the host nation. Along with India, the top seven sides in the ICC World Cup 2023 Super League Points Table will automatically qualify for the ODI World Cup.</p>



<p>The remaining two participants will qualify after the conclusion of Cricket World Cup Qualifiers 2023. The schedule for World Cup Qualifiers 2023 tournament is out and it will include the bottom 4 teams of the Super League Points table and 4 associate nations. The two teams leading the table at the end of the World Cup Qualifiers Tournament will feature in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.</p>



<p>Till now, no updates are there about squads for the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup. We will make the updates here as soon as the news is up there.</p>

ICC WORLD CUP: Sachin Tendulkar Reveals Motivational Conversation with the Indian Team Squad Before Clash against Pakistan in 2011

<p><strong>"Want To Win World Cup 2023, Don't Open With Rohit-Gill," Says Ravi Shastri:</strong> The ICC ODI World Cup 2023 is drawing nearer by the day, and cricket pundits are busy making some bold predictions and statements. Former Indian cricket team head coach Ravi Shastri believes that Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill should not be paired to open the Innings in the forthcoming ICC ODI World Cup 2023.</p>



<p>Ravi Shastri reckons India should have at least two left-handers in their starting XI for the World Cup 2023. The former World Cup champion emphasized that India won the 2011 World Cup with two key left-handers who gave variations to their batting lineup. Ravi Shastri, who has observed and coached the team, thinks the management is unlikely to get benefit from the present opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill in the marque event.</p>



<p>India's favored opening combo in ODIs has been Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill in place of the injured KL Rahul. Shastri contends that the lack of a left-handed batter makes it hard for this pair to be accepted for the World Cup. Shastri emphasized the value of a balanced lineup and the potential influence of a left-handed batter in the top three or four positions in an interview with The Week.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Shastri On Rohit-Gill Opening Pair for World Cup 2023</strong></h4>



<p>"No, that is going to be a challenge. You will have to see closer to the event. Form again becomes important. You need to strike the right balance. Do you think a left-hander will make a difference at the top? It does not have to be opening but in the top three or four. You have to weigh all those options. Ideally, in the top six, I would like to see two left-handers," Shastri said in an interview with The Week.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Gautam-Gambhir.jpg" alt="&quot;Want To Win World Cup 2023, Don't Open With Rohit-Gill,&quot; Says Ravi Shastri" class="wp-image-67597" /></figure>



<p>Shastri highlighted the importance of left-handers in earlier World Cup success. Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, and Suresh Raina, all left-handers, all played significant roles in the 2011 World Cup victory.</p>



<p>Shastri cited historical instances, such as Australia's dominant lineup of left-handed players and the winning teams of 1974, 1979, 1987, and 1996. In order for the team to succeed, he stressed the importance of creating a mix and balance.</p>



<p>"Whenever you have done well [left-handers contributed]. In 2011, you h u had [Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj [Singh] and [Suresh] Raina. Go back to 1974? [Alvin] Kallicharran, [Roy] Fredericks, [Clive] Lloyd? The same in 1979. The 1983 team was the only one that did not have a left-hander, but that whole tournament was against all odds. In 1987, Australia had enough? they had [Allan] Border at the top, they had another two or three, down the order."</p>



<p>"In 1996 Sri Lanka proved it again, with [Sanath] Jayasuriya, [Arjuna] Ranatunga, [Asanka] Gurusinha. And then Australia, with the Gilchrists and the Haydens. England have it now. That mix and balance has to be created," he added.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>The India and Pakistan rivalry has been a great contest on the cricket field, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, marked by intense competition between the neighbouring nations and passionate fan engagement. It has often been seen that ever since the two teams have stopped playing bilaterals against eachother, these two are featured in every ICC tournament, which draw millions of spectators.  </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The rivalry only intensifies, every time the two nations play against eachother, be it the Cricket World Cup or the ICC Champions Trophy. Such has been India’s domination in the ICC events, that they claimed successive wins in both the One-Day as well as the T20 World Cup. However, the Champions Trophy results have been contrasting with Pakistan’s infamous victory in the CT 2017 final against India, as well as their memorable 10-wickets win against India in the T20 World Cup of 2021.    </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Clearly, the India vs Pakistan games are celebration of cricket to its peak, where every ball, every run, and every wicket carries the weightage of national pride.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Here’s the strongest combined playing XI from the current squads of India and Pakistan for ICC Champions Trophy 2025:</span></h2>

<p><strong>Delhi Capitals IPL 2025: </strong>The Delhi Capitals (DC) find themselves in a fascinating position ahead of the IPL 2025 season. The team is primed for success with a revamped squad and a renewed focus. However, one crucial question looms large: who should lead the team? The experienced KL Rahul, or the dependable all-rounder Axar Patel? Let’s break down the dynamics and possibilities that each captaincy option offers.</p>
<h2><strong>KL Rahul: The Veteran Leader</strong></h2>
<p>KL Rahul comes to Delhi with a rich IPL pedigree. Over the years, he has proven himself as a prolific run-scorer, amassing over 4,600 runs at a phenomenal average of 45-plus. His experience as captain of the Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants has shown his ability to guide a team to playoff stages, which he achieved twice with LSG. Rahul’s batting consistency and calm demeanor make him an attractive choice to lead DC.</p>
<p>However, Rahul’s captaincy style has been criticized for being conservative, particularly regarding his strike rate and decision-making in crunch moments. This could be a concern for a team like the Delhi Capitals, which boasts explosive batting talent and needs a captain capable of effectively utilizing this firepower.</p>
<h2><strong>Axar Patel: The Fresh Perspective</strong></h2>
<p>On the other hand, Axar Patel represents a new-age leader with a wealth of experience in high-pressure situations. Axar has been DC's vice-captain and even stepped in as captain for a game in IPL 2024. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him a key player, and his recent appointment as India’s T20 vice-captain adds to his leadership credentials.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063ce6ad86.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Axar’s performances last season were nothing short of stellar, with 235 runs at a healthy strike rate and 11 wickets at an economy of 7.66. His all-around prowess, coupled with his understanding of the DC squad, makes him a strong contender for the captaincy.</p>
<p>Choosing between Rahul and Axar is essentially a choice between two distinct leadership styles. Rahul brings stability and experience, having captained for multiple IPL seasons. His presence can calm nerves during tense moments, which is invaluable for a team aiming for the playoffs. Axar, however, offers a dynamic and aggressive approach, potentially aligning better with DC’s young and energetic squad.</p>
<h2><strong>Delhi Capitals, the Squad</strong></h2>
<p>Delhi’s 2025 squad is packed with talent across the board. In the batting department, players like Harry Brook, Tristan Stubbs, and Jake Fraser-McGurk add explosive options, while KL Rahul himself remains a cornerstone at number three. The pace unit, led by Mitchell Starc and supported by T Natarajan and Mukesh Kumar, is formidable. However, the reliance on Axar and Kuldeep Yadav in the spin department highlights a potential area of concern.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063cab56d5.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Delhi Capitals Squad: Harry Brook, Jake Fraser-McGurk, KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc, T Natarajan, Ashutosh Sharma, Mohit Sharma, Sameer Rizvi, Karun Nair, Faf du Plessis, Mukesh Kumar, Darshan Nalkande, Dushmantha Chameera, Vipraj Nigam, Ajay Mandal, Manwanth Kumar, Trupurana Vijay, Madhav Tiwari. DC retentions: Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, Abishek Porel.</p>
<h2><strong>The Strategic Impact of Captaincy</strong></h2>
<p>Under Rahul, DC might adopt a more methodical approach, relying on his ability to anchor innings and guide young players like Abishek Porel and Fraser-McGurk. Axar’s leadership could inject a more fearless and intuitive style, encouraging aggressive cricket and leveraging DC’s bench strength, including veterans like Faf du Plessis.</p>
<p>One key consideration is how the captaincy might affect their individual performances. While Rahul’s form as an opener has been a consistent asset, Axar’s ability to contribute with both bat and ball is crucial to DC’s balance. Assigning the captaincy to Axar could be a gamble, but it might pay off if it inspires the team to rally around a fresh vision.</p>
<p>Ultimately, the choice of captain will reflect DC’s strategic priorities. If the franchise prioritizes experience and a steady hand, KL Rahul is the natural choice. However, if they aim for a bold and innovative approach, Axar Patel might be the leader to take them to new heights.</p>
<p><strong>Either way, the Delhi Capitals possess the ingredients for a successful campaign, and the captaincy debate only adds to the intrigue surrounding their 2025 IPL journey. They are one of the strong contenders for the trophy this year.</strong></p>
<p></p>

KL Rahul or Axar Patel, who could be the Next Leader of Capitals?

Delhi Capitals faces a tough captaincy choice for IPL 2025: experienced KL Rahul or dynamic Axar Patel. Both offer distinct leadership styles, which will shape DC's approach with their star-studded squad and bold ambitions.

Delhi Capitals must choose between KL Rahul’s steady leadership or Axar Patel’s dynamic approach to maximize their IPL 2025 potential.
