With the final ODI of the year 2023 being played, Star Sports’ has released their ODI Team of the Year. Despite Australia winning the ODI World Cup, only one Australian player made their list. However, the most shocking thing is the exclusion of World Cup Final ‘man of the match’ Travis Head.
Star Sports’ ODI Team of the Year
- Rohit Sharma (India)
- Shubman Gill (India)
- Virat Kohli (India)
- Daryl Mitchell (New Zealand)
- KL Rahul (India)
- Heinrich Klaasen (South Africa)
- Adam Zampa (Australia)
- Kuldeep Yadav (India)
- Mohammed Shami (India)
- Mohammed Siraj (India)
- Jasprit Bumrah (India)
Indians dominate Star Sports’ ODI Team of the Year
With three batters (Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and Rohit Sharma), one wicketkeeper (KL Rahul), and four bowlers (Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, and Jasprit Bumrah), the India cricket team holds eight of the eleven spots in the XI.
However, one could question if the team is correct or not. Players like Travis Head and Glenn Maxwell may not have made so many runs, but they left a huge impact. Pacer bowlers in Dilshan Madushanka, Marco Jansen, and Gerald Coetzee also couldn’t make the list despite impressing everyone.
