The final match of the World Test Championship will be played between India and Australia starting today. Starting at three in the afternoon, both teams will meet at London’s Kennington Oval to become the boss of Test cricket. Find out what Team India’s strategy could be against Australia in the title match.
The India team has not won any ICC tournament in the last 10 years. In such a situation, Rohit and company would like to end this drought against Australia. However, it will not be easy against the Kangaroos. If Team India is to defeat Australia, they will have to land at the Oval with a very special strategy.
In the final match against Australia, the Indian team can decide to bowl first by winning the toss. In the previous edition of the World Test Championship, India had batted first and had to face defeat. In such a situation, the Indian team would not like to repeat the previous mistake this time. Anyway, the oval field is green and in such a situation it will not help the spinners much in the 4th inning, that is why the Indian team may decide to pitch first after winning the toss.
In the title match, the India team can go with 2 spinners. Actually, Ravindra Jadeja has been playing number six in Test cricket for the past few years and he is also scoring a lot of runs. In such a situation, in the final match, he can be fed as a batsman by captain Rohit Sharma, who can also bowl if necessary. At the same time, Ravichandran Ashwin, an experienced non-spin player, can be the leading player of the team. In this way, the India team can enter the final with two spinners in the playing XI.
In the final match, Rohit Sharma’s team can play attacking cricket as England. In English conditions, however, there is very little hope of success by playing too much defensively. In such a situation, top batsmen like Captain Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja can play aggressive cricket.
