IND Playing 11 ODI World Cup 2023: India Team Players List, Fantasy Cricket Tips

IND Playing XI – India enter ODI World Cup 2023 as title favourites and the team to beat. Men in Blue recently won the Asia Cup 2023 where they annihilated arch-rivals Pakistan and then blew away Sri Lanka in the final to become champions. Then, they defeated Australia 2-1 in the three-match home ODI series. And, it’s all working out for now to end the nation’s 12-year wait for the ODI World Cup.

India will begin their World Cup campaign against Australia on 8 October at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. India will be feeling confident of their chances as they have a formidable spin attack suited for Chennai’s conditions.

The return of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer has bolstered India’s batting unit, while Jasprit Bumrah’s return has added firepower to India’s batting. India have gained some much-needed momentum ahead of the mega event. All of India’s players are looking in form and they all have some game time under their belt.
