icc odi world cup 2203

Young Stars Cricket Club: The last time India played a home ODI World Cup match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, it was in 2011 against the West Indies, which is best remembered for Yuvraj Singh slamming 113 and picking 2-13 in the hosts’ 80-run victory.

There was an element of homecoming in that game when a young Ravichandran Ashwin took 2-41 in his ten overs at Chepauk. Cut to now, and 12 years later, a grand homecoming awaits veteran off-spinner Ashwin when India take on Australia in their 2023 World Cup opening match on Sunday afternoon, as Chennai is back to hosting a global tournament game featuring the hosts’.
