The entire world will come to a standstill when India lock horns with Pakistan on 14th October 2023. Apart from the glitz and the glamour prior to the tournament in the form of a musical ceremony, the game promises to be an absolute crackerjack of a contest.
Several former cricketers and cricket pundits are referring to this game as the biggest clash of the entire ICC ODI World Cup 2023. Both India and Pakistan have won both their opening 2 fixtures and are brimming with confidence and momentum ahead of this match.
While India defeated Australia and Afghanistan in convincing fashions, Pakistan defeated Netherlands and Sri Lanka in their opening encounters. On 10th October 2023, Pakistan completed a record run-chase victory in World Cups, after they chased down a mammoth total of 345 runs.
In this article, we take a look at the top 3 vice-captain choices in the IND vs PAK game of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023:
1. Mohammad Rizwan (Pakistan)
Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan has been in stellar form, off-late. He has been timing the ball well, taking on the pacers and playing spin extremely well. With 199 runs in the tournament so far, Rizwan is the highest run-getter of Pakistan and the second-highest run-getter of the entire tournament.
With an average of 40.25 in ODIs, Rizwan will be a force to reckon with in this IND vs PAK game at the iconic and historic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
2. Virat Kohli (India)
Talismanic Indian batter Virat Kohli will be one of the best choice vice-captains of your fantasy team for this IND vs PAK game on 14th October 2023. Kohli is a class act and is an embodiment of class, dedication and commitment.
He is India’s highest run-getter in this ICC tournament and has mustered 140 runs. Virat Kohli loves playing against big oppositions and will be hoping to take India over the line in this match against Pakistan.
Notably, Kohli had smashed a fabulous century against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023.
3. Jasprit Bumrah (India)
Another multi-format specialist of the Indian cricket team, Jasprit Bumrah has been in stupendous form in the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup 2023. The pacer has bagged 6 wickets and is India’s leading wicket-taker in this tournament.
We can expect Bumrah to breathe fire in this game with the white-ball and leave a mark with his fiery and menacing bowling against the likes of Babar Azam, Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan.
