Team India are one of the formidable forces to be reckoned with in international cricket and their trophy cabinet serves as a testament to this fact. The Indian cricket team won two ODI World Cup titles, 1 T20I World Cup, 2 Champions Trophies, 2 ICC Test Maze and eight Asia Cup trophies. The Men in Blue are gearing up for the upcoming edition of the ODI World Cup, which is scheduled to go all guns blazing from October 5.
The mega event will be organized entirely in India for the first time in history. Team India will kick-start their ODI World Cup campaign on October 8 at MA Chidambaram Stadium located in Chennai as they will take on the Australian cricket team. Rohit Sharma and Co have been in good form in ODI cricket and will be looking forward to giving their best shot at winning the ODI World Cup this time around.
A leg-spinner is someone who will always take wickets for you, says Yuvraj Singh
Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh reckons that the Indian team management might have missed out on the trick of not picking Yuzvendra Chahal for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. India’s experienced leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was not named in Team India’s 15-man squad for the World Cup. Chahal holds a truckload of experience under his belt and is best known for taking wickets when it matters the most.

“Leaving out Yuzi could be a mistake and worry. At least could have kept him in the squad. A leggie is someone who will always take wickets for you. Kuldeep Yadav is doing fantastic. but Yuzi could have been dangerous on turning tracks and slower wickets. Hardik Pandya giving you the balance of a third seamer, you could have picked Chahal,” added the 2011 World Cup winner.
