India’s Playing 11 for WTC Final Match
After the end of IPL 2023, the final of the World Test Championship will be played. Australia’s team is going to be in front of the Indian cricket team in this high voltage match. Before this match, both the countries have announced their respective teams.
But it will be special to see which players the teams will give chance in their playing 11 during the match. Meanwhile, former Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar has selected Team India’s playing 11 for the WTC final.
Shubman Gill and Rohit opener
As expected, Sunil Gavaskar has entrusted the opening responsibility to captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. Both players have experience of batting together for a long time. At the same time, for number 3, Gavaskar has given Cheteshwar Pujara a chance in the team.
Kohli-Rahane in middle order
Sunil Gavaskar has named Virat Kohli at No.4 and Ajinkya Rahane at No.5 for the WTC final. Virat had also scored a Test century recently. On the other hand, Rahane has returned to Team India after a strong game in IPL. Sunil Gavaskar, however, took a surprising decision by choosing KL Rahul as the wicketkeeper of the team in place of KS Bharath.
Ashwin-Jadeja
Despite the English conditions, Sunil Gavaskar has given place to two spinners in the team. Gavaskar has given place to the pair of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin in his team. At the same time, this veteran player has also given place to three pacers in the team. It has the names of Jaydev Unadkat, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj. Surprisingly, he did not give place to Umesh Yadav in this team.
