Rohit Sharma and company are currently enjoying their campaign in the 2023 ODI World Cup. In the four matches they have played so far, not in one match they were found to be struggling much. Even if there was a bit of a headache given to them by the opponents, other members of the team ensured they reached a comfortable position and from then onwards, guided the team to victory.

First, the Men in Blue registered a thumping win over Australia in their campaign opener and went on to thrash Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Bangladesh in their next three fixtures. But former Australia player Ian Healy believes India are overdoing on every field.

“But if you see the energy that’s going into it (their wins), my fear is that they’re going to have an emotional letdown. They’re putting a whole lot of (energy into it), they might just be overdoing it,” Healy said on SEN Radio. “The intensity, the gestures in the field when someone bowls a bad ball, the over-enthusiasm of good fielding efforts, all that sort of stuff.”

However, India great Sunil Gavaskar lashed out at Shreyas Iyer for his average performances across all the four matches India have played. He scored a duck, 25, 53, and 19. Gavaskar said Iyer lost his patience and can learn from Kohli on how to build innings.
