Team India is marching towards the much-awaited World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval. The marquee game will be played from June 7-11, where both the teams will be giving their best to bag the WTC title, which India eventually lost in 2021 to New Zealand. With only four days left for the match, a lot of debate regarding the Playing XI has been going on, especially for the position of the wicketkeeper.

They may not have won an ICC title in 10 years but India head coach Rahul Dravid on Monday insisted his team is not feeling any pressure going into the World Test Championship final against Australia. However, the former India captain said it would be nice to win the trophy as it is something his team has worked towards over the last two years. India lost the inaugural WTC final to New Zealand in 2021 and have been guilty of faltering in knockout games. "No, not at all. I mean we don't feel any pressure in terms of trying to win an ICC trophy. Of course it would be nice to do it. It would be certainly nice to be able to win an ICC tournament. But also in the context of things, you look at this and you see this is the culmination of two years of work.

India should learn from their past mistakes and not think twice before leaving one of their premier spinners out of the playing XI for the World Test Championship final against Australia if the conditions demand, said former England skipper Nasser Hussain. The spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin didn't make much of an impact two years ago when India lost to New Zealand by eight wickets in a rain-hit final of the inaugural edition. According to Hussain, India made the blunder of reading the conditions wrong the last time and shouldn't repeat the mistake this time as they eye their maiden ICC title in 10 years. "I think India, as they showed in Australia, can win in any conditions,” Hussain said on The ICC Review.
