The ‘Trump Card’ for Team India at the ODI World Cup in 2023 is chosen by chief selector Ajit Agarkar. Team India is anticipating the ODI World Cup 2023 with high hopes following a stunning victory in the Asia Cup 2023. India demonstrated their superiority in the Asian championship under Rohit Sharma’s direction.
They won the Asia Cup for the eighth time by cruising to a convincing 10-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in the championship game. Mohammed Siraj, a fast bowler, was the game’s hero. He caused mayhem by claiming an incredible 6-wicket haul for just 21 runs in 7 overs, significantly tipping the match in India’s favor.
Fans are hopeful that the Men in Blue can repeat their triumph at the upcoming ODI World Cup after their impressive performance in the Asia Cup. Excitement is at an all-time high as India is slated to host the competition. The excellent achievements of Indian athletes during the Asia Cup, including Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and others, have fueled fans’ excitement.
However, BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar has addressed the issue of who will be crucial for Team India in the World Cup and has named ace spinner Kuldeep Yadav as India’s ‘Trump Card’ for the competition that will feature many countries.
Agarkar, who had a close working relationship with Kuldeep when serving as the Delhi Capitals’ (DC) assistant coach in the Indian Premier League (IPL), thinks that most rival teams find it difficult to match Kuldeep’s abilities.
“I met him while watching the IPL. He is a man with unique skills. Every man needs to be treated with faith, and the Indian team management has delivered on that promise. He is (for us) a trump card. Most teams find him difficult to play against. We’re all anticipating what lies ahead, said Agarkar at a press conference on Monday.
Kuldeep’s recent comeback is significant. He was previously on the periphery of the Indian team, but after a brilliant season with the Capitals in the IPL, he cemented his status and hasn’t looked back. Kuldeep’s excellent spin abilities are anticipated to be essential to India’s effort to win the ODI World Cup on home soil in 2023.
