Although India\u2019s campaign at the 2023 ICC World Cup ended in heartbreak, the host nation had completely dominated all opposition on their way to the final in Ahmedabad and much of that success relied on their heavy firing top order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Virat Kohli and Rohit were the two highest scorers at the tournament with 765 and 597 runs respectively and Shreyas Iyer, with 530 runs in the tournament, perfectly complemented the Indian top order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cScoring hundreds at the top is the secret to success. Our top 4 is settled and experienced. They understand that between the top 4 one of them has to get a century. But in the World Cup we chipped and didn\u2019t have a lot of hundreds and still got big totals. Everyone wants to chip and not look at individual milestones and every batsman has to do the job. If 7-8 of us think like that we will be in a good position,\u201dsaid Rohit in a press conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India will also be heavily relying on vice-captain Shubman Gill who claimed the No.1 spot on the latest ICC Men's ODI player rankings released on Wednesday. Gill has been in excellent form of late, with his century against England in Ahmedabad during the third ODI of the recently concluded series enough to catapult the 25-year-old to the top of the rankings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rohit also took the time to applaud his deputy for the \"crazy numbers\" being scored by the 25-year-old.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cGill is a classy player and there was no doubt about him. We keep mixing formats, but he has been doing well in the format. His numbers are crazy. He has been superb for us. There is a reason why he is elevated to vice captain,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With India not with the services of their star pacer Jasprit Bumrah and questions being raised regarding the fitness of Mohammed Shami, a lot of focus falls on India's spin-heavy squad which includes five spin bowling options in Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, and Varun Chakravarthy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rohit also shut down any criticism on including five spinners by stating the team is playing to their strengths.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
