5 World Cup all-rounders to keep an eye on
The all-rounders are a member of several World Cup-bound teams.
The performance of all-rounders is anticipated to be the highlight of the upcoming major event, which is due to begin later this week. The World Cup 2023 will include several new hitters and several bowlers across different teams.
Here are the five up-and-coming all-around players to watch at the World Cup:
Hardik Pandya (India)
Pandya, 29, led the Gujarat Titans to two consecutive final appearances and a title in the Indian Premier League, where he honed his aggressive batting style.
Pandya’s career has been limited by a back ailment, but despite this, he has developed into a dependable player with both bat and ball, always remaining composed and confident in the center of the field when the going gets tough.
Pandya, who bats in the middle order primarily, can be promoted if India needs to advance their innings or take the role of the anchor when things get tough. He is the bowler India chooses to use in the middle innings when they require some medium pace.
Mitchell Marsh (Australia)
Following the injury to Travis Head, Marsh has replaced Warner as Australia’s de facto opener, appearing first on the team roster.
The 31-year-old has played in five games on Indian soil this year, averag ing over 75. He was Australia’s mainstay in a three-match series in March that the visitors won 2-1 and received Player of the Series honors for his 194 runs.
