3 Players To Watch In IND vs SL CWC Match 33: 12 years ago, India and Sri Lanka met at the same venue when MS Dhoni’s six ended a 28-year wait for the country. In match number 33 of the World Cup 2023, India and Sri Lanka will meet again at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
A dozen years ago, both teams were equal contenders to win the title. Time has changed a lot. This time, both teams are coming in with contrasting mindsets.
India have brutally thrashed their opponents in their first three games, including Australia and Pakistan. On the other hand, Sri Lanka have lost their first three matches and are all but out of the semi-final race.
3 Players To Watch In IND vs SL CWC Match 33:
Rohit Sharma
Over the past decade, Rohit Sharma has laid a strong claim to be recognized as the greatest ODI opener of the 21st century. In the past 23 years, no ODI opener has a higher average and a higher strike rate than Rohit Sharma’s average of 56 and strike rate of 94.
He also has the most ODI hundreds (29) as an opener in the 21st century, three of which are double hundreds, the most in the format’s history.
In ODIs against Sri Lanka, Rohit has notched up 6 hundreds, including the highest-ever ODI score of 264 runs 9 years ago. At his IPL home ground, Wankhede, fans can expect Rohit to hammer the Lankan bowlers, as he did against Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Virat Kohli
As per the 3 Players To Watch In IND vs SL CWC Match 33, Sri Lanka have been one of Virat Kohli’s favorite opponents. Kohli is the second-leading ODI scorer against Sri Lanka, only behind Sachin Tendulkar, but his average of 62 is much higher compared to Tendulkar’s 43.
Kohli has hit 10 ODI tons against Sri Lanka, the most any batsman has against them. If Sri Lanka are not able to dismiss Rohit and Kohli cheaply, they would be in for a long day in the field.
Mohammed Siraj
According to the Three players to watch in India vs Sri Lanka ICC World Cup 2023 match 33, you wouldn’t fault the Sri Lankan batters for still having nightmares about Mohammed Siraj’s deadly spell that blew them away in the Asia Cup final in Colombo. Siraj returned with scarcely believable figures of 6/21 in a marathon 7-over spell to bowl Sri Lanka out for only 50 runs.
Among the bowlers present at this World Cup, no bowler has taken more ODI wickets than Siraj’s 57 since the start of last year.
