Netherlands opening batter Max O'Dowd said that India skipper Rohit Sharma and stalwart batter Virat Kohli are the best in the world and joked that he is glad he doesn't have to bowl against them ahead of their final World Cup group stage clash at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

On the eve of the clash, the Dutch players geared up to prepare for their final World Cup 2023 match against India by hitting the nets and formulating plans to face the unbeaten host.

While speaking to ANI, Max talked about the potential threat Rohit and Virat carry and was hopeful that they could dismiss both batters.

Speaking with ANI, Max said, "I think they are dangerous players, they are some of the best in the world. Thankfully I am not a bowler and I don't have to bowl to them. Hopefully, we can get them out".

While Indian batters have made their mark, the bowlers too have taken the opposition by storm making batters toil hard in the opening overs. While singing praises of the Indian pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Mohammed Siraj, Max added the spinners to the list as well claiming that all five are the best in the world.

Max added, "Obviously the strongest team in the competition at the moment it is going to be very tough at their home ground, and also on the occasion of Diwali we play India so it doesn't get much better. All of them are in the top bowlers in the world. I have never faced them personally. It will be an awesome challenge to face those three bowlers, Kuldeep and Jadeja as well. The five bowlers they have are arguably the best in the world".
