The great Steve Waugh has become the latest former cricketer to question India's team selection for the World Test Championship final against Australia, saying they have "picked the wrong side" by not including Ravichandran Ashwin on a tricky pitch. World Cup-winning Australian captain Waugh's assessment comes after the likes of Sourav Ganguly, Ricky Ponting and Sanjay Manjrekar expressed their surprise at the Indian team management's decision to take to the field at The Oval without senior off-spinner Ashwin, currently the world's number one bowler in Tests.

"Leading Wicket-taker In Test Cycle Not There": Matthew Hayden Minces No Words As R Ashwin Is Left Out By India In WTC Final

Australian greats Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting have slammed India's decision to drop premier off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin for the World Test Championship final against Australia. Ashwin, who is the No 1 bowler in Test cricket and India's leading wicket-taker in the 2021-23 WTC cycle, was dropped as the Rohit Sharma-led side bolstered the pace ammunition by playing four seamers. "I feel that Ravichandran Ashwin is such a key factor, the leading wicket taker in the Tests cycle is not there. There are a few factors worth pondering on in Team India's perspective," Hayden told ICC after the day one's proceedings.

"I Don't Understand": Pakistan Great Slams India's WTC Final Preparations

India were off to a disappointing start on Day 1 of the World Test Championship (WTC) Final against Australia at the Oval. Travis Head scored a brilliant ton while Steve Smith provided proper support to finish at 327 for the loss of 3 wickets. The Indian bowlers did not look quite impressive and former Pakistan skipper Ramiz Raja had an interesting point to make about their performance. Raja said that India should have played some games ahead of the WTC Final in order to get acclimatised to the conditions and the lack of preparation can end up hurting them.

"Batters Don't Want To Be Exposed To...": Ex-India Star On 'Surprising' Decision To Bowl vs Australia In WTC Final

The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team won the toss and opted to bowl against Australia in the WTC final at the Oval on Wednesday. The match provides a chance for India to end its  decade-long ICC title drought. Talking about the decision, former India player Farokh Engineer made some interesting observatiions. "…India winning the toss, the decision (to bowl first) is a bit surprising but I think the decision was taken because our batsmen do not want to be exposed to the Australian attack on a fresh green track. We are hopeful, Mohd Shami and Siraj are effective. I think they will be effective. It's a bold decision. He (Cheteshwar Pujara) is a key member of the side. So are Virat and Shubman Gill. We have a very good batting lineup. Very good all-round side," Farokh Engineer told ANI.

Ravindra Jadeja Or Ravichandran Ashwin At The Oval? Gavaskar Picks India's WTC Final Playing XI

Former Indian cricket team skipper Sunil Gavaskar picked his preferred playing XI for India in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final against Australia and it came with a couple of surprises. In the race for wicket-keeper, he picked KS Bharat to retain his position as he has been playing for the side regularly. Gavaskar also went with two spinners at the Oval and three pace bowlers but added that this strategy will work on a “bright day” and any change in playing conditions will change the combination.

On Ravindra Jadeja vs R Ashwin WTC Final Dilemma, Ricky Ponting Picks 'More Skilled' Bowler

Can both Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin be a part of India's playing XI for the World Test Championship final against Australia? The tricky question doesn't seem to have a finite answer, at least until the conditions at the Oval become absolutely clear. The opinions over Jadeja vs Ashwin have been divided, with certain experts preferring left-arm spinner while others going with the right-armer. Ricky Ponting, however, feels the Indian team management will pick both Jadeja and Ashwin the team, although the latter is clearly the 'more skilled and better Test bowler' for the Australian legend.
