India’s Lineup for the WTC Final
India captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid have some tough choices to make ahead of the India vs Australia World Test Championship Final. With the Oval pitch still an unknown, the Indian team is yet to decide on their combination. Ravichandran Ashwin and Umesh Yadav are competing for a spot in the squad.
Well-Settled Lineup
Given the injury crisis, much of India’s lineup is already established and appears to be set. Rohit Sharma has a red-hot Shubman Gill to open with, while Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli form a formidable top four. Ajinkya Rahane returns to the Indian side and will provide stability to the middle order alongside Ravindra Jadeja. With no left-handers in their Playing XI, Jadeja could very well move up to number five. On his last visit to England, he scored a century at Edgbaston. Jadeja’s inclusion could mean that either Ashwin or Yadav miss out.
Special Fielding Drills for India
India stars are currently engaging in special fielding drills with multi-coloured balls. This is being done in order to prepare for the WTC Final.
Conclusion
The Indian team is yet to decide their combination for the WTC Final. With no left-handers in their lineup, Ravindra Jadeja is likely to move up to number five. India stars are currently engaging in special fielding drills with multi-coloured balls in order to prepare for the match.
