India vs Australia: Sunil Gavaskar Picks His Playing XI for WTC Finals
With only a day remaining until the WTC Finals, former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar has made his selection for the India team. Despite pundits giving the edge to Australia, Gavaskar believes India are the favourites to win the match. He also suggested that India should opt for the spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.
Gavaskar Gives India the Edge
Gavaskar stated “I will give the edge to India. I don’t believe that the conditions favour Australia. Apart from Melbourne where else do you get four seasons in a day? The other grounds have similar hot conditions like India.”
Indian Players Have Experience
He went on to say “In a big match you need to have miles under your feet, be it batting or bowling. Most of the Indian players have done that. The only player who didn’t play IPL, Cheteshwar Pujara was playing County cricket and scoring centuries for fun. The Indian batters are on top and the bowlers are in excellent rhythm.”
Conclusion
Sunil Gavaskar believes India should approach the WTC Finals with confidence, as most of the players have the experience necessary to perform well in a big match. He has also suggested that India should opt for the spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja for the match. With Gavaskar giving India the edge, the WTC Finals should be an exciting one.
