LONDON : When Mohammed Shami asked for a DRS review on an lbw decision with India nine men down and 212 runs short of their victory target in the World Test Championship final against Australia, even die-hard fans could be forgiven for wondering why he bothered.
Virat Kohli looked in sublime touch on Day 5 of the World Test Championship (WTC) Final between India and Australia at The Oval but the star India batter fell just one run short of a well-deserved half-century. It took a spectacular catch from Steve Smith at the slips to put an end to Kohli's innings as he fell for Scott Boland's ploy to dismiss him. Boland kept bowling a slightly off-stump line to him and Kohli finally ended up edging a wide delivery to Smith at third slip. The dismissal left all India fans shocked as it was a crucial wicket with respect to the game and his wife Anushka Sharma's reaction went viral on social media.
Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma believes that the World Test Championship (WTC) Final can be a third-match series in the future after India were beaten in the summit clash by Australia at the Oval on Sunday. India lost seven wickets in the first session of Day 5 as Australia registered a brilliant 209-run win. In the aftermath of the match, Rohit was asked about possible changes to the WTC Final format and the India skipper believes that the summit clash of the tournament need not be one game.
Australia swiftly ended any hopes of a record-breaking India win to seal victory by 209 runs in the World Test Championship final at The Oval on Sunday.
Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma made it clear that the batter were not able to perform well at The Oval and they failed to show promise at the World Test Championship (WTC) Final against Australia on Sunday. India had eight batters with scores between 40 and 49 but most of them were not able to convert it into a big innings. It proved to be costly for the Rohit-led side as they were beaten comprehensively in the summit clash. The India skipper added that the bowlers did have plans against Steve Smith and Travis Head but there did not work and that proved to be a turning point.
Australia took the crown as the No. 1 side in Test cricket with a crushing win over India in the World Test Championship final. In what will be a busy summer for Australia, with the Ashes getting underway next week, Pat Cummins’ men proved much too good for India at the Oval.
LONDON : A fired-up Australia wasted little time in crushing Indian hopes of staging a final-day miracle as they romped to a 209-run victory in the World Test Championship (WTC) final at The Oval on Sunday.
Australia beat India by 209 runs to win the World Test Championship final at The Oval on Sunday. India, set a record 444 to win, resumed on 164-3. But they collapsed to 234 all out, losing seven wickets for 70 runs inside 24 overs before lunch on the fifth day. Scott Boland sparked the slump with two wickets in an over, including the prize scalp of Virat Kohli, before off-spinner Nathan Lyon polished off the tail. Victory meant Australia had now captured the one major men's cricket title that had previously eluded them.
