New Delhi: Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has made a big statement on India’s chances of winning the ODI World Cup 2023 at home. The 41-year-old raised concerns about the middle order and said he was “not sure” whether India would be able to win the World Cup.
Yuvraj’s concern is about India’s middle order
“Honestly speaking I am not sure whether they will win the World Cup or not, I can say as a patriot that India will win. I see a lot of concern about injuries in the middle order in the Indian team. “It’s disappointing to see them (India) not winning the World Cup, but it is what it is,” Yuvraj Singh said in a freewheeling chat on YouTube channel ‘Cricket Basu’.
He moreover no bones formed About reality It is this combination that is letting the Indian team down. “We have a sensible captain Rohit Sharma. They should do Match them correctly. We require one or two Of divergence to urge Ready, We should do have a pool of little bit 20 players choose Squad one of 15.”
slot 4-5 is really important
According to Yuvraj Singh, India’s top order is fine but the middle order is lacking and needs to be addressed. There is a big question about the fourth and fifth slots.
“The top order is fine but the middle order needs to settle. Slots 4 and 5 are very important. If Rishabh Pant is batting at number four for an IPL franchise, he should come at number four for the national team as well. The number four batsman cannot be a flamboyant run-scorer. He should be someone who can handle pressure,” Yuvraj said.
He also pointed out that India cannot experiment while playing pressure matches like in knock-out games.
KL Rahul or Rinku Singh in India’s middle order
When Yuvraj was asked he backed KL Rahul but also suggested the name of Kolkata Knight Riders star batsman Rinku Singh for the same spot.
“Rinku Singh was batting really well. I think he has the understanding to build partnerships and maintain that strike. it is too early. If you want him, you have to give him enough matches,” Yuvraj said.
He further said no. Four batsmen cannot be flamboyant run-scorers. He should be someone who can handle the pressure.
