"Favourites On Paper But...": Ravi Shastri's Interesting WTC Final Prediction

The Australian team on paper holds slight advantage on a bouncy Oval track but both Ravi Shastri and Ricky Ponting feel that the Indians are better prepared for the World Test Championship final beginning Wednesday with IPL game-time under their belt. Shastri, Ponting and Pakistan legend Wasim Akram all feel that the Oval track will remain fresher than it usually is as it has never hosted a Test match in June in the venue's 140-year history. Shastri, a former India head coach who guided the team to inaugural WTC final in 2021, felt that had Jasprit Bumrah been there, India would have started on even keel if not as favourites.

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.
