Battles within big battle: Rohit vs Starc and Hazlewood, Kohli vs Zampa

India and Australia -- the two best teams of the 2023 ODI World Cup -- have duly made their way to the final, promising a series of fascinating individual battles between the fierce rivals. India, the only unbeaten side in the tournament, have hardly put a foot wrong while Australia have never looked back after recovering from back-to-back losses in the beginning of the competition. As a unit, India have performed better than Australia and are favourites to lift the coveted trophy at home after 12 long years. On the other hand, Australia are not used to coming second when a global trophy is at stake and five titles in seven final appearances are a testament to their envious record. The final promises to be a rivetting contest and PTI looks at match-ups that could potentially decide the winner.

World Cup: Rohit never been bothered about personal landmarks - Gavaskar

Rohit Sharma may have 31 ODI hundreds in his kitty but the Indian skipper is the last person to play the game for personal milestones or gratification, legendary Sunil Gavaskar said ahead of India's all-or-nothing World Cup semi-final against New Zealand on Wednesday. Rohit is currently India's second-highest run-scorer in this competition after Virat Kohli, amassing 503 in nine matches at an average of 55.88 and a strike rate of 121.49, including a ton and three half-centuries. "Well, I don't think Rohit Sharma is going to change his game because that's how he's playing throughout this tournament. He hasn't been bothered about any personal landmarks or milestones," Sunil Gavaskar told 'Star Sports'. "He's looking to get the team up to a flying start because what that does, it puts the opposition under pressure and gives his team the platform from where they can then capitalize on the remaining 40 overs," Gavaskar analysed the Indian skipper's approach. "So in the first 8 -10 overs

Laid-back Rohit best man to lead India to third World Cup title: Ponting

Australian legend Ricky Ponting believes a "laid-back" Rohit Sharma is the ideal captain to lead India to their third ODI World Cup title, the second on home soil after the 2011 triumph. With three convincing wins under their belt, India have made a perfect start to their World Cup campaign. India defeated Australia by six wickets in their tournament opener, before registering emphatic eight and seven-wicket wins over Afghanistan and Pakistan to sit on top of the points table. "He's very laid back, Rohit. Very laid back with everything he does. You can even see that by the way that he plays. He's a pretty laconic sort of batsman as well, and that's the way he is both on and off the field," Ponting told the ICC on Tuesday. Rohit took the captaincy reins from Virat Kohli in both the white-ball formats in December 2021. And Ponting believes Rohit's character fits perfectly for the India job, allowing Kohli to focus on his batting. "Someone like Virat, who is a bit more ...

World Cup 2023: Will play 3 spinners if needed, says Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma is not averse to playing three spinners against Pakistan on a huge Motera ground with big square boundaries. But, on the eve of the blockbuster World Cup face-off, the India captain was in two minds over whether to continue with Shardul Thakur or bring in his senior off-spinner R Ashwin. Asked if the track warrants playing three spinners, Rohit said: "I don't know, honestly." "If there is a change or two we need to make, we will be ready with that. And the guys have been informed very well in advance about these kind of changes. So, I don't think it's going to be any issues with the players. "But if the requirement is there for us to play three spinners, we will play three spinners," the skipper kept things pretty open-ended. I know which boxes to tick as player and captain ============================== During the last World Cup, he scored five hundreds and was the vice-captain of the side.

ICC World Cup, IND vs AUS Preview: Confident India ready for Australia

Rohit Sharma, one of the most revered cricketers of his generation, would carry the audible expectations of a billion people when his Indian team starts its high-stakes World Cup campaign against Australia here on Sunday. For the sports aficionados, the Asian Games campaign with 100-plus medals was a juicy appetiser and they are bracing up for exotic main course from country's most followed sports team. Led by a genial Pat Cummins, Australia are a tough yet likable bunch, who are ready for a good scrap at the Chepauk where both the teams have had some epic battles in the past be it the tied Test of 1986 or the close Reliance Cup game the next year or the 2001 Test series-decider. If India's batting is world class, Australia's pace attack is top notch but does it have the legs to survive the cruel Chennai heat will be a million-dollar question.

Axar likely to miss 2 ODIs against Australia, Shreyas 99 percent fit: Rohit

India captain Rohit Sharma on Friday said left-arm spinner Axar Patel is likely to miss the first two ODIs against Australia next week while middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer is "99 percent" match-fit. Axar had suffered a left quadriceps strain during the inconsequential Super 4 match against Bangladesh on Friday and was ruled out of the Asia Cup. Washington Sundar was drafted in as Axar's replacement in India's Asia Cup squad. The PTI had reported on Saturday that Axar will be out of Australia series and could also be a doubtful starter for the World Cup. The worrying part is that MRI scans have revealed that its a hamstring tear. "Axar had a small tear. It looks like maybe it will take a week or 10 days (to heal), I don't know. We have to see how that injury progresses. Some guys recover quickly, and I hope that's the case with him," skipper Rohit didn't seem too confident about the speed of recovery for the Gujarat all-rounder. "I am not sure whether he will be able to play the .
