ODI series will help T20 World Cup stand by players
ODI series will help T20 World Cup stand by players. On Wednesday, stand-in captain Shikhar Dhawan said that all the stand-by players for the T20 World Cup participated in the South Africa ODI series. It would utilize the three games to build a case for itself for the main squad.
Without Jasprit BUmrah, the series might come down to a shootout between standby players Deepak Chahar and Mohammed Siraj, should Mohammed Shami not be match-ready by October 15.
Indian team standbys Shami, Shreyas Iyer, Ravi Bishnoi, and Chahar will make the trip to Australia for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
Declarations
“Of course, it’s crucial because the more games the reserve players play, the more they’ll get into a rhythm and have a positive frame of mind. And if the lads do well, that self-assurance will serve them well. Dhawan remarked before the series’ first game, “Who knows they might get a chance. Therefore, they can look at this series as preparation.”
Dhawan is optimistic that the experience will benefit the development of the squad’s many uncapped players, including Rahul Tripathi, Rajat Patidar, Mukesh Kumar, and Shahbaz Ahmed.
A glance at how our young people have performed recently reveals a transformation in self-assurance.
With more game time comes greater competence and assurance. Eventually, they will figure things out on their own. Including for me as well. With 2023 in mind, he continued, “the more matches I play, the better for me.
We played in the West Indies and Zimbabwe with a really good team. There are mostly returning members and maybe one or two newcomers. There’s a nice harmony between us. There is a new vigor thanks to the arrival of the boys. They’ve been successful in recent seasons.
Maintaining physical fitness for the ODI World Cup is a personal priority.
Dhawan, 36, has been India’s most reliable ODI batter over the past two years, and all he wants is to be healthy enough to play in the 2023 ODI World Cup that will be held in India.
Dhawan has made an impressive career, scoring 2315 runs in 34 tests, 6647 runs in 158 ODIs, and 1759 runs in 68 T20 contests.
While in Sri Lanka and the West Indies, Dhawan captained the ODI team, and in Zimbabwe, he served as vice-captain. In the upcoming three-game One-Day International (ODI) series against South Africa, he will once again be in charge.
Statements
“I’m grateful beyond words for the wonderful career I had. For this, I have the deepest appreciation. If I have the chance, I share what I’ve learned with the next generation. The left-handed starter remarked on the eve of the first game of the series, “Now there is new duty on me, but I see opportunity in obstacles and I enjoy it.”
The 2023 World Cup is my current target. I just want to be in shape so that I can fight when the time comes,” he explained.
Dhawan has expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to lead.
I do my best to create a space where kids can feel comfortable expressing themselves openly. The two can have much more fruitful conversations. I work hard to maintain a positive and friendly atmosphere, and I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned from life with others and myself.
Forecast of rain
Since Tuesday night, we’ve had steady rain, and forecasters say Thursday will be the same.
We can’t control the weather, but thankfully this area has excellent drainage. We anticipate tomorrow’s match with great optimism. In his words, “we have done our preparation and the boys are in good frame of mind.” Dhawan.
Proteas are a good team
Dhawan believes the Proteas would put up a strong fight in the ODIs despite India’s 2-1 win in the prior T20 series.
The South African squad is really competent. Of course, there will be victories and failures; accept them as such and go on, he continued; but, more importantly, use your losses to improve your performance next time.
In the T20 series, each team scored at a respectable clip. The pitch, humidity, and dew point are only a few of the variables that can affect the answer. Dhawan disputes the claim that India has been “experimenting with captaincy” recently.
The veteran players were always absent during the times of experimentation. They were allowed to rest, but they still needed to watch how much they’re carrying to prevent injury. As he signed off, he said, “Whoever is made the captain, he is the senior-most players and capable for the task.” PTI SSC.
