Rohit Sharma gave statement regarding ODI World Cup 2023
Apart from this, Captain Rohit Sharma gave a statement regarding the ODI World Cup 2023. Captain Rohit said, “Early start is a good idea in the World Cup, I like it, the toss will be less but the broadcasters will decide.”
Let us tell you that Dew Factor (dew) plays a big role in most of the matches played in India. For this reason, most teams decide to bowl first after winning the toss, because in the second innings, due to Dew (dew), the ball becomes very wet and it becomes very difficult to bowl. For this reason, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma suggested to start the matches early, so that the toss factor can be eliminated and both the teams can get equal chances to win.
