Analysis
The key players for India in their batting lineup in the ODI World Cup 2023 will be their two senior players, the captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, while KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya are going to play a key role in the middle order too. In the bowling department, the Men in Blue will be quite reliant on Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav to pick up a bag of wickets, while curtailing the rate of scoring at the same time.
Meanwhile, the Australian cricket team will look at their senior players in Steve Smith and David Warner to do the bulk of the scoring in the ODI World Cup 2023, along with the likes of Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell in the support role. The captain Pat Cummins and Adam Zampa are going to be two of the main bowlers for Australia in the ongoing flagship tournament.
