After hosting and winning the ICC ODI World Cup 2011, India is once again set to organise the biggest cricketing event, after 12 years. The home conditions will surely play their charm, and despite strong competition from top rival nations, the two-time champions are set to win their third title and create history. 

The official squad for the upcoming championship is playing across various competitions to gear up for the big games, and the team seems strong enough to keep the trophy home. However, there are a few players, whose absence might affect the Indian team in the tournament that lies less than two weeks away. 

Yuzvendra Chahal

The BCCI dropped a bombshell on the Indian fans when they didn’t pick  Yuzvendra Chahal for a few important tournaments, including the World Cup 2023. Yuzvendra, or Yuzi, as he is fondly called was a part of the 2019 World Cup squad. Though the 33-year-old hasn’t played any ODI since January 2023, he has a decent record in the format with 121 wickets in 72 matches at an economy of 5.26. In all the games that he has been featured in, Yuzvendra has played a key role in winning many of them for the Indian side.
