Boasting of genuine match-winners in their ranks and home- field advantage, Team India are one of the favourites to lift the 2023 World Cup trophy. A team bursting at the seams with talent will be further buoyed by the availability of speedster Jasprit Bumrah as well as KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, all of whom will return after long injury layoffs. With the return of Iyer and Rahul, the conundrum surrounding the No.4 position will also be solved with Iyer expected to slot into that position.
However, Iyer and Rahul have been out of top-level cricket for a while now so the upcoming Asia Cup will be crucial for them to shake off any rust. India have won the World Cup twice, in 1983 and in 2011. They were runners-up in 2003 and made it to the semis in 1987, 1996, 2015 and 2019. How many times has India hosted the World Cup? India have hosted (or co-hosted) the World Cup 4 times - in 1987, 1996, 2011 and 2023 Will Bumrah be fit for the World Cup? Yes, Bumrah will be leading the Indian bowling attack at the World Cup after returning to action against Ireland recently. Who will bat at No.4? The No.4 spot is a head-scratcher for India due to njuries to KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer. But if both are fit, Iyer is likely to play at that slot. Who has played the most number of World Cup tournaments for India? Sachin Tendulkar. He has played in 6 ODI World Cups for India. Where is the final of the World Cup 2023? The World Cup final will be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
