The Indian team had a disappointing loss in two major series, the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup. It also lost in last year’s T20 World Cup. So the ODI World Cup series in India next year is very important for the Indian team.
The Indian team is seriously preparing for the One Day World Cup. A strong team has to be selected for the ODI World Cup. The Indian team management is testing many players for that. The selection of the Indian team, including the selection of the team for the T20 World Cup, has been under heavy criticism for the past few years, and new selectors will be appointed.
Had I not been out, I would have scored a triple hundred..! I missed a good opportunity – Ishaan Kishan
After the introduction of T20 cricket, the approach of teams in ODI cricket has also changed. So still can’t play with the old approach. Earlier 300 runs was seen as a big score, now 400 runs is scored as an assault.
Therefore, there is a need for the Indian team to take a proactive approach accordingly. Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan are the opening players of the Indian team in ODI cricket. Rohit bowls slowly in the beginning and then settles down and can hit. Dhawan is also not a big hitter. So the Indian team could not get off to a threatening start and the score remained at a certain level.
In this case, Ishan Kishan has attracted the attention of the Indian team management and BCCI. Ishan Kishan, who opened the batting against Bangladesh, converted his maiden century into a double century in ODI cricket. He scored a double century in 126 balls and scored 210 runs in 131 balls. He was dismissed in the 36th over. But by then he had accumulated 210 runs. Had he batted 35-40 more balls, he would have scored a triple century. In 50 overs, one player has scored the most difficult score for a single team.
Ishan Kishan has made himself irreplaceable in the ODI team with this incredible innings. If Ishan Kishan starts the action, Rohit Sharma takes his time and then takes over the action, India will score a mega score. Forced to change their approach in ODI cricket, India have been forced to think beyond Shikhar Dhawan, who has been the ODI opener for the last 10 years.
Aussies win the 2nd Test by 419 runs. Aussies whitewash West Indies and win the series
So Ishan Kishan cannot be ignored in the upcoming series against Sri Lanka and Australia. So it looks like Dhawan will lose his place. Dinesh Karthik also expressed the same opinion.
Speaking about this, Dinesh Karthik said what is Dhawan’s position in the Sri Lanka series..? Ishan Kishan cannot be ignored after such an innings. Shubman Gill is also there. So it will be interesting to see who India field. Dinesh Karthik has said that Dhawan’s illustrious career is coming to a tragic end.
