The selection of the middle order for the Indian team for the World Cup squad still remains for debate and discussion with potential candidates vying for their spots. Shikhar Dhawan has entrusted his confidence in Suryakumar Yadav as his go-to batter for the number 4 spot in the Indian cricket team for the ICC World Cup 2023.
While the return of Shreyas Iyer remains in a shroud of doubt, Sanju Samson and SKY are eyeing for their chance to get their chance in the middle order of the team.
Putting his confidence in the World’s number 1 T20I batter, Dhawan said, “I would go with Surya at four as he is an experienced player and has been playing international cricket for a while.”

On the other hand, former selector MSK Prasad and veteran all-rounder Ravi Ashwin have placed their bets on Mumbai Indians youngster Tilak Varma who can be a good fit in the middle order. But it can be understood that the rookie will not be hushed and fast-tracked into the ODI squad.
Shikhar Dhawan has lauded praises for his former opening partner, the current India team skipper Rohit Sharma. The 37-year old southpaw has also revealed that he is eager to see how youngster Shubman Gill play in the World Cup.

“Also, really looking forward to see how Shubman Gill does in the World Cup. Another batter to watch out for will be Rohit Sharma as he did exceptionally well in the last World Cup,” he said referring to Rohit’s five hundreds in the 2019 edition.
On India’s chances in the World Cup, he added, “We have got a very good side which has the right blend of experience and youth. We will have the home advantage. We know the grounds and pitches and that is going to come in very handy.”
