Already dominant, exceedingly consistent and someone you’d take lightly only at your peril- India are this and more. But there’s more: Team India is leading a hectic cricketing season at the moment as one can
see. There’s hardly any dearth of exciting ongoing opportunities that see India as a busy and focused team with perhaps one goal in sight: and that’s to lift the forthcoming ODI World Cup to be held in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. With its last one day World Cup title coming way back in time in the year 2011, the focus now is to have a powerful side replete with enough experience and firepower to go for the mega glory.
If anything, Team India’s massive one day victory in the very recent contest that was held against the West Indies at Guwahati in Assam in which the hosts conquered an onerous ask of 406 runs with 6.3 overs in spare spoke a great deal about the team’s intent and firepower. Powered by amazing batters such as captain Shubman Gill, who scored a career best knock of 223 unbeaten runs and the incredible Rohit Sharma, now with 12000 runs in ODI’s and 35 centuries, Team India also possesses a world leading giant in the form of Virat Kohli. Then there’s the likes of KL Rahul and Ruturaj Gaikwad.
When the likes of the world famous batsman troubler Jasprit Bumrah get into the side with someone like Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja already in there, it becomes much too hot to handle India. It just becomes imposing. Doesn’t it?
And ahead of the next year’s fast approaching Cricket World Cup, it seems clear that the side is going to have sizeable occupation in the ODI format to lead a fine campaign in what’s to follow in the 2027 World Cup event.
According to the inputs as per information available with the Indian Express, the following one day series events are perhaps likely going to take place in the road to the fast approaching ICC 2027 ODI World Cup:
