The Indian cricket team has displayed brilliant performance throughout the tournament. Now, only one match remains in this tournament. Rohit Sharma and his team are set to compete for the trophy in the ICC World Cup 2023 Final. This marks India’s fourth final, and they have won two out of four times, first in 1983 and second in 2011.
Axar Patel who got injured during the Asia Cup 2023 was ruled out from the World Cup squad. Veteran Ravichandran Ashwin replaced Axar Patel in the tournament. In September 2023, Ashwin’s performance in the ODI series against Australia was great but he couldn’t find a place in playing 11, as the spinners Kuldeep-Jadeja pair looked impressive enough.
Also, this was the first time that India hosted the entire tournament on its own, before that, India co-hosted the ICC World Cup in 1996 with Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
A total of 10 teams qualified for the ICC World Cup 2023, and among all of them, Sri Lanka and the Netherlands became the last teams to qualify for the ICC World Cup 2023. India, New Zealand, South Africa, and Australia made their places in the top 4.

World Cup 2023 India Captain
Rohit Sharma is leading Team India from the front, 10 consecutive wins are evidence of his powerful leadership. The way he opened for the team is a much-needed start, on the other side, young talent Shubman Gill is rising under the guidance of seniors like Rohit and Virat.
Some people were claiming that Rohit Sharma’s captaincy will not be best suited for the ICC World Cup 2023. So they’re recommending the name of all-rounder Hardik Pandya, but the hitman proved critics wrong.
World Cup 2023 India Wicket-Keeper
Rishabh Pant, who had an accident in December 2022, was not in a condition to play in the ICC World Cup 2023. Besides Rishabh Pant, Ishaan Kishan was another option, but selectors chose the classic player KL Rahul, who also performed well in both batting and wicket-keeping.
