Ahead of Indias clash against England in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, Indias wicketkeeper KL Rahul said that any team on a given day has the potential to possess serious threats against any team and expressed happiness that any concerns regarding lack of runs by the middle order have been eliminated. India will lock horns against England in their World Cup clash at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. India is riding high on confidence and is undefeated in the tournament with five wins in five matches, while the defending champions failed to continue 2019s brilliance by winning just one match in five.The 31-year-old said in a pre-match press conference, Firstly, we do not think of any opposition that way. Any team on a given day can be dangerous and I am sure you have covered enough cricket matches to know that there is no team that starts off as a favourite in a game of cricket or in any sport. So, its important that we keep doing what we have been doing and focus on our strengths.

The ace Indian batter said, Yes, whoever has got the chance, whoever has got the opportunity, they have contributed. I know that big scores have not been scored, and hundreds have not been scored apart from Virat and Rohit. But that is the challenge for the other guys. Shubman has scored 50, Shreyas has scored 50, I have been batting [well]. When Jadeja got the chance in the last match, he also finished the match. So, every player has a different role. They are playing their role and responsibility well. The team is winning so we we are not really worried but whenever anyone gets a chance, Im sure theyll put their hands up.India squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya (vc), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav.England squad: Jos Buttler (c), Moeen Ali, Gus Atkinson, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes, Brydon Carse, David Willey, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes.
