India’s Road to WTC Final 2023: A Mixed Bag
Cricket is a game of numbers, and no one knows this better than the Indian Cricket Team. The 2021-23 World Test Championship cycle has been a testament to this. In India’s Road to WTC Final 2023, the team has had five captains, two coaches, six series, ten wins, and five losses. With Virat Kohli failing to secure the last WTC crown, it is now up to Rohit Sharma to bring an end to India’s ICC trophy drought when they face Australia at the Oval on June 7.
Home vs Away
This two-year period has been a rollercoaster ride. India have been successful in all series played at home, but the overseas results stand at one loss and one draw. The team failed to win the series in England, despite taking a 2-1 lead. In South Africa, India went from a 1-0 lead to a 1-2 loss.
Changes in Personnel
In between, India had a change in coaching personnel. Ravi Shastri made way for Rahul Dravid while Paras Mhambrey took charge of bowling after Bharat Arun stepped down.
Conclusion
India’s Road to WTC Final 2023 has been a mixed bag. With the team set to face Australia at the Oval on June 7, Rohit Sharma will have the task of ending India’s ICC trophy drought. With the right team selection and strategy, India will hope to turn the tides and bring home the trophy.
