At the same time, Hardik Pandya was given responsibility as vice-captain. Most of the players from the team who were included in the Indian team for the Asian Cup have a chance. There are 6 such players in the Indian team who got a place in the ODI World Cup for the first time.
1. Ishan Kishan
Ishaan Kishan got a place in the ODI World Cup for the first time. Ishaan has been showing excellent performances lately. He has won many games for Team India alone. He scored an inning of 82 runs at the Asian Cup against Pakistan. He has scored four half-centuries in the last four ODI innings. He secured a place in the World Cup as the second wicketkeeper.
2. Shubman Gil
The year 2023 was very good for Shubman Gill. He scored a double century against New Zealand and impressed everyone with his batting ability. He has developed an excellent partnership with captain Rohit Sharma in Shikhar Dhawan’s absence. He has 1514 runs in 29 ODIs for Team India including 4 Centurys.
3. Mohammad Siraj
Mohammad Siraj made his debut for India in January 2019 for Team India. Since then he has become a key link in Team India’s fast bowling attack. So far he has won 46 wickets in 26 ODIs for India.
4. Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav has done well for India in the T20 format but has not been as successful in ODIs. But when he’s in his rhythm, he can nullify any bowling attack. Because of this, the selectors secured him a spot in the ODI squad for the first time given his skill.
5. Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer has earned a spot on the ODI World Cup squad for the first time. He has scored many middle class runs for Team India. Once Iyer is on the goal line, it becomes difficult to get him out. The ODI World Championship is held in India and he has been dominant on Indian courts. He has 1645 runs in 46 ODIs for Team India.
6. Shardul Thakur
Shardul Thakur made his ODI debut for Team India in 2017. Under the guidance of Rohit Sharma, he has now received a place in the ODI World Cup for the first time. In addition to excellent bowling, he specializes in fast hitting through bottom sequence landings. He has won 59 wickets in 40 ODIs for Team India and scored 318 runs.
