Ex-India hitter Suresh Raina identifies left-handed wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav as pivotal on the field for the 2023 World Cup. Recognizing Kuldeep’s full commitment on the field, Raina underscores that it’s challenging considering Kuldeep’s main role as a bowler.
Aside from the batting and throwing, there are also outstanding fieldwork happening in the ODI World Cup in India. The hosting team is listed among the superb field players of the tournament.
Suresh Raina, who was once regarded as one of India’s top fielders, chose his preferred fielders for the 2023 World Cup in a video posted on ICC.
“I would say Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell. Then you have Glenn Phillips, he has been taking a lot of good catches; caught and bowled.” Raina then went on to add, “And the most important fielder, Kuldeep Yadav. I think he’s putting a lot of body on the line. He’s been taking a lot of dives. I think, as a bowler, it’s not easy. He’s taking a lot of enjoyment in his fielding.”

During the World Cup, Kuldeep has made a few of excellent catches. He’s also been outstanding with diving stops in the outfield.
Suresh Raina Compared Rohit Sharma to MS Dhoni
Suresh Raina made a significant comment on current Indian captain Rohit Sharma a few weeks ago, complimenting his leadership abilities. He went on to compare Rohit to MS Dhoni after praising the captain for establishing a cordial environment in the dressing room.
“Whenever I used to talk with players they use to say Rohit has the same respect as Dhoni – Rohit has been very friendly in dressing room.”
“I would say he is the next MS Dhoni for the Indian cricket team. I have seen him, he is calm, he likes to listen, he likes to give confidence to the players and, on top of that, he likes to lead from the front. When the captain leads from the front and, at the same time, he gives respect to the dressing room atmosphere, you know you have it all.”
