India vs Australia: WTC Final 2023
The injury of Rishabh Pant has put India in a difficult situation with regards to the wicketkeeper position. In his absence, KS Bharat has been taking up the role, while Ishan Kishan is pushing for a spot in the side. Anjum Chopra, former Indian captain and broadcaster, has suggested that the selectors should have brought back Wriddhiman Saha for the World Test Championship Final, beginning on June 7.
Wriddhiman Saha: A Look Back
Wriddhiman Saha last played for India in December 2021. After that, he was dropped from the squad for the Sri Lanka series in 2022, with Rahul Dravid even asking the Bengal keeper to retire. However, the 38-year-old continues to ply his trade for Tripura in a player-coach capacity. He was part of the Gujarat Titans side that won in 2022 and reached the final last Monday.
India’s Chances of Winning WTC Final
Despite the injury concerns, Anjum Chopra believes India has a good chance of winning the title. The celebrated broadcaster has expressed that whichever team can perform to the best of their ability has a good chance of claiming the trophy.
Conclusion
India is preparing for the World Test Championship Final against Australia. Even though Rishabh Pant’s injury has caused a few issues, Anjum Chopra believes India has a good chance of winning the title. The selectors could have brought back Wriddhiman Saha, who has been playing for Tripura, but his absence will not be a major factor in deciding the outcome of the match.
