ODI World Cup 2023: Best XI of Group Stage
In the league round, some players looked extraordinary and shattered several feats. Witnessing their exceptional performances thus far, it’s time to pick the best XI of the league round.
8. Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja has strengthened India’s spin-bowling unit confidently along with Kuldeep Yadav in this World Cup. Grabbing 16 wickets in nine matches at an economy of 3.97, the 34-year-old is the highest wicket-taking spinner for India.
The Men in Blue started their campaign confidently with a six-wicket win against Australia. KL Rahul got the Player of the Match award for his 97-run innings but Jadeja emerged as an unsung hero of the game with his three-wicket haul in the one-sided encounter.
Against South Africa at Eden Gardens, the veteran exuded confidence as a batter with his 29-run innings off just 15 balls. In the second innings, Jadeja came heavily on the Protea batters, picking up a fifer. Among his five victims, South Africa’s key batting stalwarts Temba Bavuma, Heinrich Klaasen, and David Miller were included.
