There is a clash between India and Australia in the final of the World Test Championship 2023. The title match between the two will be played at Kennington Oval in London from June 7. The conditions will be different for both teams in this match. At the same time, an interesting fight will be seen between some players from both teams. Both teams have an excellent hitting attack.
On the other hand, Australia has fast bowlers like captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland and spinners like Nathan Lyon. At the same time, the India team will feature fast bowlers like Mohammed Shami, Siraj, Umesh Yadav and Shardul Thakur and the team has players like Jadeja and Ashwin. In such a situation, the players of both teams may come to see a fierce battle with each other. Let us know some interesting statistics between the players of both teams.
The India team’s possible best order in the World Test Championship final will be in the form of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane. These five players have performed brilliantly against the Mitchell Starc team. Mitchell Starc has yet to rule out Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill in tests, while Kohli, Pujara and Rahane have a combined 77.8 average against Starc.
In the Border Gavaskar Trophy played in February-March this year, Jadeja dismissed Australian star batsman Marnus Labuschagne 4 times in 8 innings. During this, Labushen’s batting average was only 16. At the same time, overall, Jadeja has shown Labushen the way to the pavilion 5 times in 11 Test innings.
Left-handed Australian batsman David Warner looks very uncomfortable against Indian spinners Ashwin and Jadeja.
