India haven’t received any ICC occasion since 2013 and the World Cup at residence is an excellent alternative to finish that drought. Playing at residence brings with it nice stress. Former Australia wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist, himself a World Cup winner, had a chunk of particular recommendation for the Indian cricket crew.
To a query by Sportstar, which learn, “What will your advice be for the youngsters like Gill and Ishan Kishan, who will be playing their first ODI World Cup at home?” Gilchrist mentioned:
“I can’t claim to know what it is like to be an Indian player, playing in India (laughs). It’s always intriguing. If I would be in the Indian hierarchy, I would be tapping into guys like Sachin (Tendulkar), MS (Dhoni) to come in and spend time with the group if they are available, and pass on all their experience,” he mentioned.
“I would have tried to get guys like Yuvraj (Singh), who had so much going on his life during that 2011 tournament, and ask them to speak openly about it.
“Virat, clearly, was a part of that crew with out being a characteristic member of the crew at the moment. I’d be drawing on that have of enjoying a house World Cup and attempt to learn the way they did it. If you may preserve that exterior noise quiet, it means that you can play your greatest cricket.”
India’s final assignment before the World Cup at home will be a three ODI series against Australia from September 22 onwards.

In a conversation on JioCinema’s ‘Home of the Blues’, former India wicketkeeper Saba Karim weighed in on Ravichandran Ashwin’s return to India’s ODI squad.
“I feel Rohit Sharma appears to be like at Ravichandran Ashwin as a match-winner and he’s very clear within the sort of strategy he needs to painting in white ball cricket. Now with the World Cup arising, he understands the dynamics of one-day cricket fairly properly and is aware of that he has to choose gamers who’ve that sort of an attacking mindset.
“He also knows that in his bowling lineup, he needs to have out of six, at least five wicket-taking options and if he has Ashwin in the eleven, then that attacking option is available. If you look at all the other players who are in the reserve – they all have that attacking mindset. So, I think Rohit Sharma wants to continue with this aggressive approach that we saw the Indian team play in the Asian challenge.”
Ashwin had final performed an ODI final yr in January towards South Africa. Even then, he had returned to ODIs after June 2017.
