The excitement of World Cup 2023 continues. All the teams are seen trying their best in the mega event. The Indian team is also performing strongly in the tournament. The team has played 5 matches so far and has won all the matches. While many players have been given a chance in the Indian squad for the World Cup 2023, many players have also been ignored. However, there is a player in Team India’s squad who is not being included in the Playing XI.
This player is not getting a place:
Actually, BCCI had included Akshar Patel for the World Cup 2023, but he got injured before the tournament and R Ashwin was given a chance in his place. However, he is not being given a chance in the Playing XI. Ashwin was given a chance only in the first match against Australia. After this, Rohit Sharma is ignoring him again and again. In such a situation, it is believed that R Ashwin’s World Cup will be spent sitting on the bench.
How has been R Ashwin’s recent performance:
R Ashwin was given a chance in the 3-match ODI series played against Australia before the World Cup 2023. Although he did not do much wonders. He took 1 wicket in the first ODI match, while in the second ODI match, he took 3 wickets. However, in the first match of the World Cup 2023, he did not do much against Australia. He took 1 wicket by spending 34 runs in 10 overs.
Team India’s squad for World Cup 2023:
Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj.
