In the final World Cup group game against the Netherlands, Indian captain Rohit Sharma on Sunday experimented with nine bowlers, including part-timers Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav and himself. This move is aimed at diversifying bowling options ahead of the semis against New Zealand. Sharma emphasized the importance of creating depth within the team, a strategy in response to the absence of injured player Hardik Pandya, which changed the team's dynamics.
