Lance Klusener, a legendary former South African cricketer, predicts that Virat Kohli will score the most runs during the next ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, which will start on Thursday, October 5, in India. The former India captain has been in excellent form, as seen by his 47th ODI century against Pakistan in the Asia Cup’s Super Four round. In the third and final ODI of the three-match series at home, he then scored fifty against Australia.
Since there are rumors that Kohli would play in his final World Cup in the 2019 competition, Klusener supported the 34-year-old hitter and referred to him as a quality batter. The 52-year-old is confident that Kohli would exhibit extraordinary skills while playing at home.
“Virat Kohli, are you retiring? Most likely not. He is of the highest caliber. He’ll be playing in familiar surroundings.
If India wins the match, he’ll likely score the most runs, according to Klusener, who was quoted by CricBlog.
Is it advisable to select a quick bowler if there is no excellent spinner available for Australia: Klusener
Lance Klusener also discussed Australia’s World Cup roster’s lack of specialized spinners. The five-time winners are down to just one left-arm specialist spinner due to Ashton Agar’s injury, along with backup alternatives Glenn Maxwell, Marnus Labuschagne, and Travis Head (who is now ill). Instead of teaming Zampa with a spinner, the 52-year-old thinks the Australians should play to their strengths and incorporate another fast bowler.
“Would it be better to select a fast bowler if Australia lacked a quality spinner?” They may not have a top-tier spinner, but as they shown in South Africa, they have more than enough weapons in the form of slower bowling and full pace to accomplish their objectives at the World Cup. Further remarks from Klusener about the West Indies’ exclusion from the top competition.
“It’s a little strange that the West Indies aren’t there. They are now going through a change as a result of Zimbabwe’s failure to qualify. It’s always good to have them in any World Cup, so it’s a shame,” he said in his conclusion.
