The eagerly awaited ODI World Cup 2023 is almost approaching. The main event, which is being entirely hosted by India, will get underway on October 5 with England playing New Zealand at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. Everyone will be paying close attention to Team India’s opening match as the competition gets off. On October 8 in Chennai, the hosts will face a formidable opponent in Australia.
The spectators would wait with anticipation for the spectacle of a game that is on the schedule as they opened their tournament by taking on one of the top cricket teams in the world. The Australian team, who will play the tournament’s hosts, will be under similar strain. With just over a month until the World Cup kicked off, star Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis spoke out about the difficult task of facing India in their opening match.
The sides will be well acquainted with one another because we recently returned from a tour of India, where we played three one-day internationals. Playing each other early in the tournament will be beneficial, and it will be a great opportunity for both teams to establish the tone for the competition. In an interview with Revsportz, Marcus Stoinis said, “I think that earning a few huge wins early would be the way that everyone would want to start. It’s a lengthy World Cup with nine rounds.

Additionally, Marcus Stoinis was questioned regarding his assessment of Indian star batter Virat Kohli. In response to the query, Marcus Stoinis said that Kohli is one of the few cricketers in history with the skills he does. The Australian all-rounder praised Kohli a lot, saying that he is a player who understands himself.
His abilities are undoubtedly the best we have ever seen in the history of cricket, but what makes him stand out in my opinion is the way he brings his enthusiasm and drive to each and every game. He has figured out how to perform at his best, and it appears that he can channel and bring that intensity to every game, according to Stoinis.
