India Playing XI: Unchanged side vs NED, India gear for semis dress rehearsal

India plans to go unchanged vs Netherlands, Men in Blue ready for Semi finals dress rehearsal

8 wins out of 8 matches! The next task will be to continue the fine run and go unbeaten in the Cricket World Cup group stage with a win against the Netherlands. But India Cricket Team skipper Rohit Sharma will not allow complacency to settle in and has gone for an unchanged playing XI in the IND vs NED World Cup clash and undergo a dress rehearsal for semis.

India Playing XI: Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj

We are gonna have a bat. No particular reason. Whether we have batted first or bowled first, we have done extremely well. Another opportunity to play well today and tick all the boxes. Extremely happy with how we have played in this tournament. Hats off to the guys who have stood up at different times and taken the responsibility. Same team,” said Rohit Sharma after the Toss.

No Place for Complacency

Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid has stuck to their winning combination. In no way can the Men in Blue take the Netherlands team lightly. The Dutch side has already proved their worth by defeating South Africa and Bangladesh and will be looking to exit the competition with their heads held high.

Virat Kohli One step away from World Record

Ace Indian batter Virat Kohli is on the verge of registering a World record. In the previous match against South Africa, Kohli slammed his 49th ODI century to match the great Sachin Tendulkar. One more ODI century and Kohli will surpass Tendulkar to be the only batter with the most ODI tons in International Cricket.
