Australia ODI series defeat highlights problems in India’s ODI World Cup 2023 preparations

ICC ODI World Cup 2023: The defeat of the Indian team in the 3-match ODI series against Australia has raised many questions regarding the preparations of the first team from the ODI World Cup to be held later this year. In this series, where Kuldeep Yadav and Hardik Pandya impressed with their performance for the Indian team, KL Rahul also got a better performance with the bat, but despite this, the performance of other players of the team disappointed everyone. Before the World Cup, the team will need to improve on the flaws that came to be known in this series as soon as possible.

1 – acclimatization

The matches of the World Cup to be held in India will be played in many different cities, in such a situation, the team will have to face different situations everywhere, for which they will have to prepare themselves in advance. In such a situation, where different conditions were found in Mumbai during the series against Australia, then in Chennai the team had to struggle in front of kangaroo spin bowlers. Keeping this in mind, the team will have to improve.

2 – Need more variety in spin bowling

In the last 2 matches of this ODI series against Australia, the Indian team was seen playing with Kuldeep Yadav apart from 2 left arm spin bowlers. While head coach Rahul Dravid made it clear that Kuldeep Yadav is going to be the first-choice spin bowler for the team, in place of the other two left-arm spin bowlers, the team also included an off-spinner in the playing XI. Maybe, in which the team has an option of Washington Sundar, who can prove to be very useful in batting as well.

3 – Suryakumar Yadav’s form increased concern

In the ODI series against Australia, the maximum discussion was seen about the form of any one batsman, then it was Suryakumar Yadav, who returned to the pavilion without opening the account on the very first ball of his innings in all the three ODI series. This form of Suryakumar has definitely created a big problem for the team management because nothing is decided about the return of Shreyas Iyer in the middle order.

4 – Hardik and Jadeja need to focus on finishing the match

At one time in the third ODI, the position of the Indian team was looking very strong, but due to the sudden fall of important wickets, the Australian team got a chance to make a comeback. After this, Hardik and Jadeja tried to take the innings towards the target but both could not succeed in it. In such a situation, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja will have to focus on playing the role of match finisher well.

5 – Need to pay attention to the workload of the players during IPL

Before the ODI World Cup to be held at the end of the year, Indian players will need to pay attention to their workload in order to keep themselves fully fit. In such a situation, guidelines have also been given to the franchisees for this during the IPL, but Captain Rohit definitely said in his statement that he cannot say much about how much it will be followed and in the end a lot depends on the player. It is going to depend on this.
