Cricket Australia's World Cup 2023 team of the tournament sparks debate as Virat Kohli is named captain, sidelining India's Rohit Sharma, who amassed 503 runs and showcased stellar leadership. The lineup, including a 12th man, features four Indians, but surprising exclusions raise eyebrows. David Warner, chosen over Rohit, stands below him in run-scoring. Notably, Kohli hasn't captained India in ODIs since 2021. Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Shami make the cut. KL Rahul's omission, despite his impressive glovework and batting at No. 5, adds to the controversial selections. Cricket enthusiasts question the rationale behind the choices. Other selections were Quinton de Kock, Rachin Ravindra, Aiden Markram, Glenn Maxwell, Marco Jansen, Adam Zampa and Dilshan Madushanka. Meanwhile India finished the group stage on top and now take on New Zealand in the semifinals today.
