Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Kl Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and other Team India players will get break during ODI World Cup 2023. After their World Cup match against New Zealand on Sunday, the Indian cricket squad will almost certainly take a brief holiday to spend time with their family.
The seven days between the games against New Zealand (October 22) and England (October 29), which will give the players a break, will help with the World Cup’s lengthy and exhausting nature.
Since Sri Lanka and Pakistan co-hosted the Asia Cup from August 30 to September 17, the majority of the players have been traveling including Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
According to a BCCI source who spoke to PTI under the condition of anonymity: “The players are likely to have an option of dispersing to their respecting homes for a two or three-day break after the New Zealand game.”
“With a seven-day gap between the two matches, it is only fair that players get some time with their families.”
Blessing for Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma?
It is anticipated that the athletes will gather in Lucknow by October 26 in preparation for their next match.
The practice sessions have been quite well scheduled by the Indian team management, taking into account the players’ demanding travel schedules and workload management, particularly for the fast bowlers.
With crunch matches incoming, this break can prove a blessing for senior players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
India is the only team in the competition that has all nine of its league games scheduled at various locations.
According to tradition, the entire Indian squad arrives for nets 48 hours before the WC match, but only the backup players are visible in action the day before the match.
The fast bowling unit hasn’t been rotated up until now, but Hardik Pandya’s left ankle twist does give up a few options that the team management may want to investigate as the competition nears its conclusion.
