Mohammad Yousuf credits Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma's chemistry for success in ICC ODI World Cup 2023

The sheer domination and relentless whacking delivered by Team India have become the talk of the World Cup. The Men in Blue have emerged as the most feared team and after 8 matches nobody has come close to challenging the blue brigade.

Team India is receiving worldwide recognition for the extraordinary performance and according to former Pak player, Mohammad Yousuf, only a stroke of extreme bad luck on Team India's part could stop the team from winning the World Cup 2023.

“Before the match, it seemed that a close game between two top teams was on the cards. But after this match, only one team is on top in the tournament. India are favourites and that’s because they have top-class batters, and bowlers and their fielding is also top notch and they are playing as a unit,” Yousuf said on his YouTube channel.

“India are performing brilliantly and the efforts and hard work are showing. One also should not forget Rahul Dravid’s contribution. Dravid helped the team gel together and make proper planning. Dravid and Rohit Sharma have a beautiful chemistry as they are able to take the entire team together."

“I don’t think India will lose any match in the tournament. It needs bad luck for them to lose. They have all their boxes ticked. There is no weakness in their team,” he added.

Team India: A force to be reckon with

Team India's domination in the ICC ODI World Cup continues and again it was the familiar phenom, Virat Kohli, who stood up to the task. Batting first, Rohit Sharma showcased his aggressive play once again and made a quickfire 40 of just 24 balls. Shubman Gill failed to capitalise on the start again and perished after adding 23 on the board. Then came the partnership that gave India the edge. Shreyas Iyer and Virat Kohli combined to contribute 134 in the total and as a result, the Men in Blue were on course to give South Africa a huge target. Courtesy of Virat Kohli's 49th hundred India reached a total of 326, thus a daunting task was ahead for the Proteas.

The trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Mohammed Shami have been tearing apart the opposition in this World Cup, however, how the Proteas have played in the tournament, a competitive chase was expected, but it wasn't to be. The pacer troika was joined by the marvellous Ravindra Jadeja in this match. Jaddu took the 5-fer and paved the way for another early finish. 83 was all South Africa could manage in the end, and with it, India secured victory by a mammoth 242 runs. Kohli was adjudged the man of the match for his century innings.
