For us, it is now the different playing XI combinations and just ensuring that we play different combinations at times just to ensure that we are able to do that in the World Cup, says Ragul Dravid

He is more than happy with the takeaways from the nine home ODIs that the Indian team has played and has already narrowed his World Cup core team to 17-18 players, head coach Rahul Dravid said on the eve of the series decider against Australia.
India are going into the decider, having already played eight home games -- three versus Sri Lanka, three versus New Zealand and three against Australia finishing on Wednesday.

Did he achieve what he had set out to in nine home ODIs, keeping World Cup in mind? "We have to a large extent. We have got a lot more clarity at the end of these nine games, irrespective of what happens tomorrow. We need to keep building on that clarity.
"For us, it is now the different playing XI combinations and just ensuring that we play different combinations at times just to ensure that we are able to do that in the World Cup and we are not surprised by anything in the World Cup," Dravid told media persons here on Tuesday.
This leg of home ODIs were very important as the players will now get into IPL and after that there is the big WTC final, followed by a tour of West Indies and a possible Asia Cup in Dubai.
"Probably not going to get too many more games in our conditions. We had the opportunity to play in these conditions which is great. Yeah, coming out of the IPL to a large extent we are pretty clear about the kind of squad and the players we want. We have narrowed it down to 17-18 players." Injuries to Jasprit Bumrah, Iyer, Prasodh Krishna, Deepak Chahar does remain a concern but Dravid insisted that the team is in a good head space.
The head coach rued the absence of an injured Shreyas Iyer, who had been earmarked to bat at No. 4 in the World Cup. The coach at the same time was sympathetic towards Suryakumar Yadav, who hasn't yet set the ODI stage on fore unlike T20 format.
"Obviously. it is unfortunate for Shreyas to get injured. He is probably one of those guys who would bat at No.4 and given a lot of time at that position. If you notice we have stuck to the people in positions. For two years leading into this run, there is a lot of T20 cricket played and we did not have a lot of one-day cricket and if there are injuries and all that, we do have options." But does Surya's first-ball ducks isn't really worrying Dravid.
"Not really concerned about Surya. He got two very good balls. One of things about Surya is that he is learning the 50-overs game. The T20 is slightly different. In T20, he has played 10 years of IPL.
"He (Surya) has played a lot of T20 cricket. He has played a lot of high pressure T20 games. Even though he has played a lot of t20 cricket I think he has not played a lot of one-day cricket. We need to give him some time and be patient with it. We certainly see the upside of him doing well."

Virender Sehwag revealed that Virat Kohli approached him to take up the role of Team India's head coach after the former captain had a fallout with Anil Kumble.

Revealing details about his meeting with the BCCI officials for the post, Sehwag said that Amitabh Choudhary told him that things weren&rsquo;t working out between Virat and Kumble and the board wanted him to take the coaching position.

Kumble was eventually replaced by Ravi Shastri following India's defeat against Pakistan in the 2017 Champions Trophy final.

Delhi Capitals' top-order, led by Shafali Verma, made a mockery of Mumbai Indians' famed bowling line-up as they chased down 110-run in just nine overs. With the win, Delhi dethroned Mumbai from the top of the WPL 2023 points table.&nbsp;
After putting Mumbai to bat, Delhi bowlers reduced the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side to 10-3 inside four overs. Mumbai never recovered from the early hiccups, with Delhi taking wickets at regular intervals, managing only 109-8 in 20 overs.&nbsp;
Chasing the paltry total, Shafali Verma went hammer and tongs from the word go before Hayley Matthews sent her back to the pavilion after a 33-run blitz. However, Alice Capsey kept the momentum going as she tonked Matthews for three sixes in an over. Finally, Delhi went over the line in just 9 overs, handing Mumbai their second defeat in a row.

West Indian Deandra Dottin expressed disappointment at her exclusion from Women's Premier League franchise Gujarat Giants, terming it 'bewildering'.
In a social media post, Dottin said she was transparent about correspondence with the Gujarat Giants physiotherapist.
The 31-year-old also stated that her chat with physio was misconstrued and later conveyed to members of the franchise's management team that she was "experiencing abdominal pain post-session", which was not what she had indicated.

Previously, the Caribbean all-rounder was signed for ₹60 lakh by the Adani-owned side, but before the start of the tournament, she was excluded from the squad on medical grounds.
The Giants had stated that Dottin failed to get medical clearance by the deadline, which was why they replaced her with Australia's Kim Garth. But Dottin refuted the claims made by the franchise.

With the win, UP not only booked a berth in Eliminator but also knocked Gujarat and Royal Challengers Bangalore out of the WPL 2023.

In a must-win game, Gujarat needed a big victory to keep their hopes alive for playoffs. However, Sneh Rana's side managed to score only 178 runs batting first. Ashleigh Gardner was the top run-scorer with a 39-ball 60.&nbsp;
Chasing the modest total, UP were reduced to 39-3 before Tahila McGrath and Grace Harris came together, stitching a 78-run stand. Though Tahila returned to the pavilion after scoring her fifty, Harris kept UP in the hunt with her powerful strikes.
Ultimately, Sophie Ecclestone took Warriorz home with one ball to spare.&nbsp;

Shreyas Iyer is expected to have his surgery either in London or somewhere in India under the strict guidance of the BCCI

In what can be a major blow to Team India and to the Kolkata Knight Riders, Shreyas Iyer is likely to undergo surgery for his back injury.
According to a report in the Times of India, the middle order batter is expected to have his surgery either in London or somewhere in India under the strict guidance of the BCCI.
The report further stated that Iyer is expected to be out of action for at least 5 months after his surgery, which effectively rules him out of IPL 2023 and the World Test Championship final in June.
It will be tough for him to find a spot in the 2023 ODI World Cup in October, as well as Team India, is unlikely to consider the batter without playing him in the build-up to the tournament.
