India vs Australia: Special Fielding Drills For Rohit Sharma and Co.
India’s captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid have a few tough calls to make in the lead up to the India vs Australia World Test Championship Final. With the Oval pitch being an enigma, the Indian team is yet to decide on their combination. Ravichandran Ashwin and Umesh Yadav are in contention for a spot in the side.
A Well-Settled Lineup
Given the injury crisis, a lot of India’s lineup is already determined. Rohit Sharma will open with the in-form Shubman Gill, while Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli will make up the formidable top four. Ajinkya Rahane is making a return to the Indian side and will bolster the middle order alongside Ravindra Jadeja. Due to the lack of left-handers in the Playing XI, Jadeja could be promoted to the number 5 spot, as on his last visit to England he had hit a century at Edgbaston.
Multi-Coloured Balls For Special Fielding Drills
India’s stars have been practicing with multi-coloured balls, as part of special fielding drills. This is to help the players get accustomed to the changing light conditions in England, as the sun sets. The drills are also designed to help the players adjust to the different coloured balls used in the Test Championship, which has been a challenge for many teams.
Conclusion
India have a strong lineup for the World Test Championship Final against Australia, and the team is preparing for the match with special fielding drills. Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid have some difficult decisions to make, with Ravichandran Ashwin and Umesh Yadav fighting for a spot in the side. The multi-coloured balls used in the drills will help the players adjust to the changing light conditions in England and the different coloured balls used in the Test Championship.
