India's veteran wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik is impressed by India's surreal dominance in the ongoing edition of the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 tournament. The Men in Blue have been in scintillating form as they have fared sensational results compared to all other teams in the competition.

Dinesh KarthikRohit Sharma and Co are the only team that remains unbeaten in the competition with eight straight wins. They got the better of Australia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, England and South Africa. Rightly so, they accumulated as many as 16 points and are on top of the points table.

Meanwhile, Dinesh Karthik emphasized the fact that there is no Indian team that has dominated like the existing Indian team. While speaking to Cricbuzz, the experienced wicketkeeper-batter said that this Indian team is probably the strongest team that India has ever had in history. 

“I'm going out on a limb to say this but this Indian team is probably the strongest team that India has ever had in ODIs. In World Cups for sure. There's no Indian team that has dominated like this current 2023 team," Karthik added in a statement.

"You have to pit it against other Indian teams which have done very well but it will run other teams very close to it being the greatest ODI team ever in terms of performances and pressure," he added.

The veteran further added that the toss might play a part in the first semi-final at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. India are likely to face New Zealand in the semi-final contest. 

“It's in Mumbai, the first big decision, if they win the toss, will be if they would bat first or bowl first because there will be dew but then they will have to get past that first spell. The first 10 overs the ball swings and moves. There's no question what the level is going to be till the finals. It's going to be the same XI. Every player has ticked the box and is looking good for the semis," he said.
