New Delhi, the World Cup 2023 is starting from October 5. All the World Cup matches are to be played in India this year. On this account, Team India can beat other teams. Rohit Sharma scored the most runs in the last World Cup (2019). This time too the fans are hoping that an Indian player will score the most runs in the tournament. But England’s legendary cricketer Joe Root has said that this powerful player of England will score the most runs in the World Cup this time.
Joe Root did not name Ben Stokes or Jos Buttler. England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow was named instead. Joe Root said during an interview with ICC, “I think Jonny Bairstow will be the highest run-scorer in the World Cup. He is a player who always proves himself. He is a great white ball cricketer. He has been consistent in our top order as well.
These are the 5 most runs scored by Indians against Australia, 2 active players in the list, 1 on the verge of retirement
Appreciated Adil Rashid
Joe Root continued, “Adil Rashid has a lot of skills. We know how important it is to take wickets in the middle overs. He is always doing well for our team. I hope he will prove to be dangerous for the opposing teams on Indian wickets. Let us tell you that Joe Root is also a part of England’s World Cup team.
“He will do well against Australia and be included in the WC squad,” the former selector hoped from the player.
England squad for World Cup: Jos Buttler (capt), Moeen Ali, Gus Atkinson, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, David Malan, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, David Willey, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes .
