ICC World Cup 2023: The Indian team will be one of the favourites heading into the tournament. They will have an added advantage as they will be playing at home. It’ll be a great opportunity for the Rohit Sharma-led side to end their ICC Trophy drought and win their first-ever title since 2013. 

Since the last few months, India has faced quite a few blows and have lost their main players due to injury. The likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer have missed quite a few amount of cricket and their availability for future games is a big question mark.
