5 Players Who Can Open For India In The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: As the countdown to the ODI World Cup 2023 draws closer, the question on every cricket enthusiast’s lips is: who will open for India? The opening duo can set the tone for the rest of the game, and the loss of Shikhar Dhawan from the team has left a gaping hole to fill. Yet, the talent pool India possesses is immense, and the competition for these spots will undoubtedly be intense. Here’s a look at the five likely candidates.

Firstly, Rohit Sharma’s position as the opener seems unquestionable. Despite a few recent failures, his credentials as a top-tier player cannot be disputed. He brings to the table a wealth of experience and an exceptional ability to tackle short balls and spin alike. Barring injuries, the team would certainly revolve around this prolific opener.

Another promising candidate is the rising star, Ishan Kishan. He has demonstrated immense potential in the IPL and domestic circuit over the last two seasons, earning him a well-deserved spot on the national side. His explosive batting style and handy wicket-keeping skills might just be the fresh approach India needs.

Shikhar Dhawan

Although Shikhar Dhawan has been dropped from the team, his past performances and experience cannot be ignored. His current form is a concern, but a strong IPL season could swing the pendulum back in his favor. His affable nature and extensive experience make him an invaluable asset in the dressing room and on the field.

Shubman Gill

Young Shubman Gill could also be in contention for the opener’s role. Known for his fearless approach against express pace, Gill can potentially be a perfect replacement for Rohit Sharma. His season with the Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2023 will be critical in cementing his place in the squad.

KL Rahul

Lastly, KL Rahul, the Indian team’s go-to man, can also stake his claim for the opener’s position. His versatility has seen him play numerous roles for the team, and opening the innings could be another feather in his cap. His weakness against left-arm pacers is a concern, but his work ethic suggests that he can overcome it.KL Rahul

These five players each bring their unique strengths and capabilities to the table. Their performance in the run-up to the tournament will be closely monitored by selectors and fans alike. The team’s choice of openers could play a pivotal role in their World Cup campaign. So, the countdown begins, not just for the tournament, but also for this crucial decision.
