After 4 long years, the Cricket World Cup is finally here. This time the world cup is going to be held in India. Last time when the caravan of the cricket world cup was in England, we had witnessed some of the exceptional performances from the players. We hope that the players will deliver something similar this time as well. And keeping this thing in mind we have prepared a list of 5 players who we think will shine in this cricket world cup.
We have scanned the performances and recent form of all the squad members of participating teams. And this was literally a tough job to choose 5 names. But after some hard work we have enlisted 5 players to watch out for the cricket world cup 2023.
5 Players To Watch Out In Cricket World Cup 2023 India
Shubman Gill
The prince of the Indian cricket team is in some unbelievable form in 2023. He has scored 1,025 ODI runs this year in 17 innings. With 5 ODI centuries this year Shubman Gill is also the player with most ODI centuries this year. Gill will be making debut in the world cup tournament. His exceptional form is a very good sign for team India if they want to win the cup at home.
Heinrich Klaasen
This explosive wicket keeper batsman from South Africa is the biggest positive for Proteas coming to India for the world cup. Klaasen is in terrific hard hitting form. His recent knock of 174 that came off in just 73 deliveries against Australia shocked the world. This is why he is among the top players that you should keep an eye on in the cricket world cup 2023.
Virat Kohli
If you are making a list of players to watch out for then how can you not include King Kohli in that list. Since the time he broke the shackles of poor form, Virat Kohli is back in his regular run machine duties. He has scored 3 centuries this year in one-day internationals. He is looking way more hungry for runs this year. And we all know that Virat Kohli is a player of big events, so it’s obvious to keep eyeballs focused on him while he plays in the Cricket World Cup 2023.
Mitchell Starc
Mitchell Starc is a player of world cups. What he has done in the last two world cup tournaments is unmatchable. He was leading wicket taker of 2015 world cup & 2019 world cup with 22 wickets and 27 wickets respectively. Not only this, his last outing in India was also very pleasing for him. He had 8 wickets in 3 ODIs in that series. So Starc is definitely a hot player to watch out for in the 2023 Cricket World Cup.
Ben Stokes
Ben Stokes is probably the best player in the world at the moment in terms of pressure handling. Since, his unbelievable knock of 2019 Cricket World Cup final came, the level of Ben Stokes reached to another extent. The Man Of The Final of last world cup has also reversed his ODI retirement. And he marked his comeback in ODI by scoring the highest individual score for England in ODIs after he smashed 182 off 124 balls against New Zealand. We are very excited to watch him play and that’s why he is definitely a player to watch out for in the 2023 Cricket world cup.
We would like to mention some of the honorable mentions including Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, Aiden Markram, Jos Butler, Kusal Mendis, Matheesha Pathirana, Mehndi Hasan Miraj among others who missed by bare margins from getting featured in our list of 5 players to watch out in cricket world cup 2023.
