The dominant Indian side in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 could take on the rest of the world the way they are playing in the marquee event. 

With team India registering yet another thumping win, it seems not only players of one country could stop Rohit Sharma's men in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. After chasing the targets comfortably in the early part of the marquee event, India were not only defending the targets but also not allowing the opposition to cross the 100-run mark.

After stopping Sri Lanka to a mere 55 in Mumbai, India bowling unit led by Jasprit Bumrah has bundled out South Africa for just 83 runs in Kolkata.

This led to comparing the Indian team with the great Australian team, which remained undefeated in the 2007 World Cup. 

The way the current crop of Team India are playing, even forcing the legendary Pakistani pacer Wasim Akram to pitch India against the Rest of the World Team.

"Rest of the world versus India would be fair. Total domination in all three aspects of the game, be it batting, bowling or fielding. No matter if they bat first or field first. Complete control in all these aspects of the game. What more do I say about today's performance?” said Akram on a Pakistani cricket show.
