Rohit Sharma-led India will be desperate to break their barren run in International Cricket Council (ICC) events and win the coveted ‘gada’ when they take on Pat Cummins’ formidable Australia in the final of the much-anticipated World Test Championship (WTC) here. Will fight Kennington Oval, in London on Wednesday. Undoubtedly, India’s team has been the most consistent in the last two WTC cycles. They have also managed to reach the knockout stages of major white-ball tournaments in the last 10 years, but one trophy has eluded them.
Australia, on the other hand, are looking to add to their significant collection of world titles after missing out on a spot in the grand final round of the WTC. India has dominated Australia in recent times as far as the competition between the two sides is concerned. They have won their last four Test series against Australia – two at home and two away – all by 2-1 margins.
All eyes will once again be on India skipper Rohit Sharma who is coming off a modest run of form in IPL 2023 and will surely be under pressure to lead with the bat. However, a day before the start of the ‘final Test’, the 36-year-old injured his left thumb while batting in the nets. Rohit, taking the throwdown, was seen holding his left thumb after the hit in the nets but did not appear to be in pain or much trouble.
According to reports, the Indian captain did not bat after being hit by the ball, but it was just a precautionary measure and nothing to worry about. India will need a good start from Rohit, who had a successful tour of England in 2021 as an opener. His opening partner Shubman Gill is in red-hot form and will look to continue his purple patch of career. However, his technique will also be tested in the tough conditions of England.
