Read Time:4 Minute, 6 Second

If Captain Virat Kohli gives chance to Mayank Agarwal in the match against Sri Lanka before the semi-final, then he will be the 7th player of India to start ODI career in the World Cup. Also, after 27 years, any Indian cricketer will debut from the World Cup.

Virat Kohli-led team India has already booked its seat in the ICC World Cup semi-finals.Although the Indian team has to play their last league match against Sri Lanka on Saturday.Captain Kohli has the best chance that before the big match, for this match, some players sitting on the bench could try through this match. If the batsman Mayank Agarwal is included in the final eleven, he will have a great chance to break the record of 32-year-old Navjot Singh Sidhu.

In the middle of the World Cup, Mayank Agarwal was included in the team, while being replaced by all-rounder Vijay Shankar, bypassing senior players in his place. It is being said that Mayank was kept in the team due to pressure from captain Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri. Unaware of his ignorance, angry cricketer Ambati Rayudu decided to suddenly retire. The special thing is that Mayank has no experience playing one-day internationals, that is, he has to start his career in ODIs right now.

27 years later chance

If Kohli gives chance to Mayank in the match against Sri Lanka before the semi-final, then he will be the 7th player of India to start ODI career in the World Cup. Also, after 27 years, any Indian cricketer will debut from the World Cup.

However, the start of Indian cricketers who started their career with the World Cup has not been fantastic. Navejot Singh Sidhu was able to perform brilliantly in only 6 of the players till date.

Sidhu’s debut in 1987 World Cup

In the 1987-88 World Cup, the batsman Navjot Singh Sidhu got an opportunity to start the ODI career, which he roamed heavily. Navjot Singh Sidhu, in his first one-day match, played brilliantly against Australia and scored 73 runs in 79 balls. Siddhu had also put 5 sixes in addition to 4 fours in this wonderful innings, which was a charismatic innings at that time.

However, India lost the match by 1 wicket. This is the best performance of any Indian in the first match of his ODI career through the World Cup. After Sidhu, Ajay Jadeja is the only Indian who got the chance to start ODI career from the World Cup.

Subsequently, in the next World Cup (1991-92), all-rounder Ajay Jadeja made his international debut. Sri Lanka were included in the match but they did not get a chance to get into the ground because the match was washed away. After the toss, this match could not be done with the constant rain. But in this World Cup, Jadeja played a magnificent innings of 46 runs in his third one-day match against Pakistan, thanks to which India managed to win the match. In the World Cup, the series of defeats of Pakistan by Team India started with this match which continues to this day.

3 Indian players made debut in 1975

In the first World Cup (1975), the players’ ODI career was started for the Indian cricket team. On June 7, 3 players in the match against England got the chance to start ODI career together for Team India. Anshuman Gaekwad, Mohinder Amarnath and Karsan Ghavri debuted their ODI career with this match. Although the performance of these three cricketers was not good and the team lost the match to England by 202 runs.

Right now, the Sri Lankan team, who are playing their last match against India in the World Cup being played in England, has the highest number of players to open their ODI career with a match in the World Cup. 21 Sri Lankan players made their ODI debut with the World Cup. After Sri Lanka, West Indies (9) and New Zealand (8) are on the debut in the World Cup.

Among the world’s leading players, one of the world’s leading players, Vivian Richards (West Indies), Abdul Qadir and Javed Miandad (Pakistan), Tom Moody (Australia) and Imran Tahir (South Africa).

To stay on top in the points table, India will have to win this match in every situation, and have to pray that Australia will lose to South Africa in another match played today. If this happens then India will go up to 15 points after Sri Lanka win and Australia will remain only 14 points, which will make the team India number one and will get the chance to play in New Zealand on fourth place in the semi-final. England team at third place
