3 youngsters who deserve a place in India ODI World Cup 2023 squad

After a disappointing defeat in the recently concluded World Test Championship Final 2023, Indian squad is finally gearing up for the biggest clash, the ODI World Cup 2023, slated to be organised in the Indian subcontinent in the months of October and November. Due to obvious reasons, all eyes will be on the Indian squad, and the team is expected to end the 10-year-long ICC trophy drought. Given the magnitude of the competition, the selectors are unlikely to make huge changes in the squad, but like every time, there will surely be some surprising calls. In this article, we will have a look at three youngsters, who deserve to be a part of India’s ODI World Cup squad. 1. Yashasvi Jaiswal Yashasvi Jaiswal is undoubtedly one of the top names who deserve to be a part of India’s ODI World Cup squad. Jaiswal was Rajasthan Royals’ standout player in the recently concluded season of the Indian Premier League. His exemplary performance with his bat left everyone impressed, and in no time, the 21-year-old lad became a household name. The RR opener scored 625 runs in 14 matches averaging at 48.08, with a combination of five half centuries and one century in the 2023 season of the cash-rich league. Not only this, but Jaiswal was also named the Emerging Player of the Season. In addition, this youngster was also one of India’s stand-by players in the WTC Final 2023. #PAGE_BREAK#2. Rinku Singh In the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League, fans witnessed last-over heroics in some matches of Kolkata Knight Riders, when a 25-year-old youngster gave a few games an unbelievable finish and helped his team emerge victorious in them. The youngster, Rinku Singh, became everybody’s favourite in the latest season of the cash-rich league. Needless to say, the kind of game he has displayed lately, Singh is another name that truly deserves to be a part of India’s squad for the upcoming mega-tournament. The southpaw scored 474 runs in 14 matches averaging at 59.25 with a strike rate of 149.52. The kind of skills, composure and temperament he has shown in finishing games in some impossible situations, Singh can help Men in Blue take dominance in several games. #PAGE_BREAK#3. Ruturaj Gaikwad Next name that should be included in India’s ODI World Cup 2023 squad is Chennai Super Kings’s star opener Ruturaj Gaikwad. The 26-year-old cricketer was a solid performer in the recently concluded season of the Indian Premier League. The Pune-born cricketer averaged 42.14 in 16 matches making 590 runs at a strike rate of 147.50 in the 2023 season of the famous Indian T20I league. Gaikwad has consistently performed well in all the seasons he has played in the IPL, with a total of 1,797 runs in 52 matches in the tournament. Apart from that, Gaikwad is the captain of Pune-based franchise Puneri Bappa, and has led his team to win two of the four games the team has played so far in the 2023 edition of Maharashtra Premier League. If Gaikwad can play well in domestic games and IPL, he can surely be a strong contender for a place in the Indian team for the 2023 ODI World Cup.
