Obviously, there would be a lot of disappointments whenever an Indian Team is selected. It is no different for the 2023 ODI World Cup. India has so much depth in resources that a separate XI can be formed out of the players who have not been selected. Here, we take a look at a strong India ODI playing XI not selected for the 2023 ODI World Cup. Before that, here is India’s squad for the 2023 ODI WC:
India 15-player squad: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj.
Openers: Shikhar Dhawan (C) and Ruturaj Gaikwad
There are no surprises here. Shikhar Dhawan and Ruturaj Gaikwad have missed out on the final squad and hence, they are a part of this team. Dhawan would also be the captain of this side.
Middle-Order: Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson (WK) and Rinku Singh
Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson select themselves because they have been a part of the recent Indian ODI Teams. Since Rishabh Pant and Rajat Patidar are injured, we have Rinku Singh as a part of the middle-order of this squad.
All-Rounders: Shahbaz Ahmed and Washington Sundar
Washington Sundar is a part of this strong India ODI playing XI not selected for the 2023 ODI World Cup. In the all-round department, Shahbaz and Washi have played for India recently. Hence, they make the squad here.
Bowlers: Mukesh Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna and Yuzvendra Chahal
Prasidh Krishna is a part of the Asia Cup squad and hence, he is on this list. Chahal yet again missed out and will lead the spin attack of this side. Arshdeep Singh and Mukesh Kumar will complete the bowling attack of this XI.
