Team India is all ready to take on the Pat Cummins-led Australia in the opening match of the ODI World Cup 2023. On October 8, both teams will take the field at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. The Rohit Sharma-led India will be eager to deliver similar performances and get off to a strong start in the ODI World Cup 2023 after winning an ODI series against Australia in the recently concluded Asia Cup 2023.
Ace Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav is one of the key players to keep an eye on as the game draws closer against Australia. Since 2021, Kuldeep has seen considerable ups and downs, but he has effectively reinvented himself and is back in the starting lineup for India. Kuldeep Yadav suffered an injury during the IPL 2021, which kept him out of action for a while.
He also appeared to have lost his momentum and his spot in the Indian starting lineup after returning. However, the 28-year-old had managed to advance up the ranks once more through tenacity and extraordinary tenacity.
When I returned to the Indian team for the trip to the West Indies, I was unable to rediscover my rhythm. I had been working on making my rhythm faster and had bowled it in a practice game in Kanpur where the batsmen found it challenging. I was losing my rhythm even throughout the IPL. According to Kuldeep Yadav, it took roughly six to seven months for it to start working. Fox Cricket reported this.
Currently, Kuldeep Yadav is leading the ODI World Cup 2023 bowling rankings.
Regarding the present ODI World Cup 2023, hitters have been having a good time on the fields thus far, especially in light of the final match between South Africa and Sri Lanka, which broke numerous records. Therefore, life will not be simple for bowlers as India starts their campaign. Kuldeep’s role now assumes even greater significance, particularly during the game’s middle overs.
Speaking of Kuldeep Yadav, he is presently leading the list of wicket-takers in the 2018 World Cup, surpassing players like Maheesh Theekshana, Shaheen Afridi, and many more. As the match between India and Australia draws near, it will be intriguing to observe how the Australian hitters will attack Kuldeep Yadav and how the ace spinner will attempt to eliminate the Australian stars.
