There will be quite a few Indian-origin cricketers who will represent other nations in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Rachin Ravindra is one of them who has already set the tournament on fire. India will have to face all of these cricketers in the upcoming days. A few of them could even turn out to be a thorn in India’s path. Here, we take a look at three Indian-origin cricketers who could trouble India in the 2023 ODI World Cup.
1) Rachin Ravindra – New Zealand
Rachin Ravindra played at No.3 for the Kiwis in the absence of Kane Williamson. Against England, on his World Cup debut, the young cricketer hit a massive century, helping his side win the match.
He might get a similar role in the upcoming games, as well. India will play the Kiwis in Dharamshala. Although Rachin might not trouble India with the ball, he could be a problem with the bat. If India meets New Zealand in the knockouts, he could be a problem again.
2) Keshav Maharaj – South Africa
India’s match against South Africa will be at the Eden Gardens. Keshav Maharaj will lead the spin attack for his side in this tournament.
India has a few popular batters who have a weakness against left-arm spinners. All teams will exploit this. Keshav is one of the best left-arm spinners right now and he could trouble the Indian batters in the middle-overs.
3) Vikramjit Singh – Netherlands
Vikramjit Singh is one of the Indian-origin cricketers who could trouble India in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Representing the Netherlands, the 20-year-old is one of the brightest young talents in the game.
India’s game against the Dutch will be at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. This venue is heaven for batters. India cannot discount the Netherlands for being a lower-ranked team. If a player like Vikramjit can get his eye in early, it could turn out to be an issue.
