Team India is all set to take on Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) final, scheduled from June 7-11, 2023, at Oval, England. This match holds great significance for both teams, as they will battle it out for the prestigious title of being the best Test side in the world.
India will be led by Rohit Sharma, who has led the team with distinction in the bilateral series, especially at home. The Men in Blue, however, have failed to win major titles like the Asia Cup and the 20-20 World Cup in 2022. Therefore, the Indian fans are hoping for a better performance from their team this time around. The team received some good news ahead of the final, as they became the new number-one ranked side in the longest format of the game. India overtook Australia to gain the top spot, and are now third in ODIs and first in T20Is.
India's squad for the final comprises of some of the best players in the world, including Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, and Ravi Ashwin. The team will be looking to continue their dominant run in Test cricket and win the WTC for the first time. The last time India played a Test series against Australia at home, they defeated the Aussies 2-1 to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the fourth consecutive time.
On the other hand, Australia will be led by Pat Cummins, and their squad includes some of the best Test players in the world, such as Steve Smith, David Warner, and Mitchell Starc. The Aussies will be looking to win the WTC for the first time, and they will pose a strong challenge for the Indian team.
The match promises to be an enthralling battle between two heavyweights of Test cricket. Fans can expect some high-quality cricket from both sides, as they battle it out for the coveted WTC trophy. All eyes will be on the Indian team, as they look to make history by winning their first WTC title under the leadership of Rohit Sharma. The stage is set, and it's time for the two best Test sides in the world to showcase their skills and fight for glory.
