Get ready cricket fans, because the Indian squad for the ODI World Cup has been announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)! And guess what? Some young players have been given a chance to shine in the 15-member team. But don’t worry, confidence has also been expressed in some of our beloved seniors. The captain of Team India for the World Cup will be none other than the talented Rohit Sharma, with the responsibility of vice-captain on the shoulders of Hardik Pandya.
Now, let’s take a trip down memory lane and talk about those 5 players who were also part of the team in the 2015 World Cup. First up, we have Rohit Sharma, who was also a part of the 2015 World Cup squad. His performance in the last World Cup was nothing short of excellent, scoring 330 runs in 8 matches played at an average of 47.14. Who can forget his brilliant century of 137 runs in the quarter-finals against Bangladesh? The audience was on the edge of their seats during that innings!

Next, we have the star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who took 9 wickets and scored 57 runs in 8 matches in the 2015 World Cup. Another all-rounder, Axar Patel, also played the 2015 World Cup for India and has now been included in the squad for the 2023 World Cup. Although he didn’t get many chances in the last World Cup, we’re excited to see what he brings to the table this time around.
Of course, we can’t forget about the former Team India captain and run machine, Virat Kohli. He’s one of the players who was a part of the 2015 World Cup team and is playing the World Cup this time too. Virat’s bat played exceptionally well in the last World Cup, scoring centuries against Pakistan and South Africa. He had scored 305 runs in 8 matches in that World Cup.
Last but not least, we have the experienced fast bowler Mohammed Shami, who took 17 wickets in the 7 matches played at an economy of 4.81 in the 2015 World Cup. With such a talented squad, we can’t wait to see what Team India brings to the table in the upcoming World Cup!
