Will changes in Indian World Cup 2023 cricket team help boost India’s chances?
Shreyas Iyer has been taken in the squad and likely to bat at number four. Shreyas cemented his status as India's premier ODI run-scorer, accumulating an impressive 724 runs from 17 innings. And his tally of 818 runs in 18 innings at an exceptional average of 51.12, featuring one century and six half-centuries from this position, offers hope for a settled future.
India have effected major changes in its world cup cricket squad for the upcoming championship hoping that they will produce positive results and bring cheers to the cricket fans in the country.
The selectors have reposed faith in Shubman Gill in place of Shikhar Dhawan, who has been suffering from injury. As Gill sets out on his maiden World Cup journey, India would consider themselves lucky if he can follow in Dhawan's footsteps.

Ishan Kishan, who is part of the squad, reminds one of Dhoni's early years, and his wicket keeping skills are certainly not subpar by Indian standards. Any lingering doubts about his ability to anchor the middle order were dispelled when Ishan delivered what could be considered the most challenging innings of his career, facing a formidable Pakistan bowling attack.
Surya Kumar Yadav is another inclusion in the team. Yadav has firmly established himself as a T20 powerhouse but he faces challenges in adapting to the 50-over format. Nevertheless, the team management holds strong confidence that it's only a matter of time before SKY takes flight in ODIs, which is the primary rationale behind his selection over Sanju Samson.
Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur are also in the squad reflecting the selectors’ confidence in them. When the World Cup comes knocking, Siraj promises to be a formidable threat with both new and old ball. Shardul too is a partnership breaker and his batting prowess is well-documented.
