Ravi Shastri, who has coached the Indian cricket team team in the past, doesn’t feel the current opening pairing of Rohit Sharma and Shubman would will be used by the management in the 2023 ODI World Cup.
The countdown for the mega event has begun with India looking to end the excruciating wait for an ICC title, having last lifted one in 2013. It was under MS Dhoni’s leadership in 2011 that India had last tasted success in the 50-over format. However, there remain a few differences between the Indian squads in terms of the type of batters that are their in the team.
With KL Rahul out injured, Rohit and Gill have been India’s go-to opening pair in ODIs. But, Shastri feels this pairing wouldn’t get the go-ahead in the World Cup as none of them is a left-hander.
