Gautam Gambhir, the team’s leading scorer in the 2011 final and a former Indian opener, believes that Virat Kohli should be the team’s captain in this unique mix of young players and seasoned veterans. According to the 41-year-old, Kohli’s significance will increase because the roster includes young players like Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav who have not yet participated in the 50-over World Cup.
Gambhir asserts that a team always requires an anchor in ODIs. They really don’t need someone to keep the inning going in T20 cricket. Additionally, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s expertise will be crucial.
Keep in mind that if the captain selects players like Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav, this will be their first World Cup appearance, so Virat and Rohit’s experience will be crucial. It will be interesting to see if Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli rises to the top of the batting order. Gambhir believes that Virat Kohli’s participation in the World Cup in 2023 is significant.

He was able to turn things around with back-to-back hundreds, scoring 113 runs against Bangladesh and yet another century in the first ODI against Sri Lanka.
The 13th ICC One-Day International Cricket World Cup will be held in India in October and November 2023.
