IND vs BAN: Virat Kohli Will Miss World Cup 2023 Match Against Bangladesh – Report

Team India has played three matches in the 2023 World Cup so far and after one-sided wins in all three matches, they have climbed to the top of the points table. Those matches are now in the past. Now Team India will have to play a World Cup match against Bangladesh (IND vs BAN) in Pune on October 19, Thursday. Ahead of the World Cup match against Bangladesh, the current captain of Team India Rohit Sharma will not allow Virat Kohli to play XI in tomorrow’s match, according to confidential sources of the team management.

Captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid are in the team management. The duo may decide to rest Virat Kohli as part of workload management, keeping in mind Team India’s crucial upcoming match against Bangladesh on Thursday. So far, Virat Kohli has fielded 50 overs in all three World Cup matches for Team India and has also batted in every match. He also scored half-centuries for the team in 2 out of 3 matches. In such a scenario, skipper Rohit Sharma may decide to drop Virat Kohli from the playing XI for tomorrow’s match against Bangladesh to reduce his workload and keep him fresh for the upcoming matches. Because India’s next match is against New Zealand.

If captain Rohit Sharma rests Virat Kohli, then Suryakumar Yadav may get a chance to replace him in India’s Playing XI. Suryakumar Yadav has not yet played a single match for Team India in this World Cup 2023. In such a scenario, if Suryakumar Yadav gets a chance tomorrow, it will be his World Cup debut.

Suryakumar Yadav was selected in the World Cup 2023 squad on 5 September. At that time, Surya’s selection in the team faced a lot of questions in the media. However, in the ODI series against Australia held before the start of World Cup 2023, Surya Kumar Yadav scored 2 half-centuries in 3 ODI matches. This has led to many Indian cricket fans advocating his place in the playing eleven.
