ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023: Hosts At Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday, Team India will kick off their 2023 ICC ODI Cricket World Cup campaign against Australia, the five-time world champions.

In addition to their successful title run at the Asia Cup 2023 competition in Sri Lanka, India enters the World Cup having won a 2-1 series against the same opponents last month.

Since former captain and current captain of the Chennai Super Kings, MS Dhoni, struck the historic six in 2011 and won the World Cup in Mumbai, this is India's first World Cup match to be played at home.

Due to dengue, India's most effective batter, Shubman Gill, may not play in this match. On a track that might help slow bowlers, India may also choose to use their hometown hero, Ravichandran Ashwin, in a three-pronged spin attack.

Regarding Shubman Gill's ability to play in India's ICC ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Australia in Chennai, team captain Rohit Sharma remained ambiguous. "It is evident that he is ill. I'm sorry for him.

However, as the human being that I am, I want him to recover, not the captain saying, "Oh, I hope Gill plays tomorrow." "No, I want him to get well. He's a young guy with a fit body, so he'll recover quickly," Rohit Sharma stated at Saturday's pre-game news conference.
