Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India will commence their World Cup journey by facing Pat Cummins’ side at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium on October 8. Notably, the hosts clinched a 2-1 series triumph over Australia in the recent ODI series last month.
India’s warm-up matches against England and the Netherlands faced disruptions due to rain in Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram. Nevertheless, concerns are minimal as India has been actively engaged in ODI cricket over the past two months, ensuring their preparedness for the upcoming tournament.
