A duel between India's formidable top order and Australia's fiery pace attack could determine who comes out on top when the World Test Championship (WTC) final gets underway at the Oval on Wednesday.
Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma suffered a slight injury scare one day ahead of the World Test Championship (WTC) Final against Australia at the Oval. During the optional practice session on Tuesday, the right-handed opener was struck on his right thumb and in pictures which were posted on social media by various journalists, he could be seen applying tape. The India skipper left practice after he was hit and although he was out in the middle after some time, he did not take part in the drills.

Star India batter Virat Kohli said on Monday that his motivation to do well increases while playing against Australia because of their competitiveness and high level of skill set. Ahead of India's ICC World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval from June 7 onwards, Virat did an interview with Star Sports where he said, "Australian team is a very competitive side that if you give them even a small window, they will come very hard at you and capitalise. Their skill set is really high. That is the reason my motivation increases even more and I had to take my game to the next level against them. I have to rise and elevate my game against Australia to beat them."
Leading Australian Test batter Marnus Labuschagne feels his long stint with English county side Glamorgan has helped him get fully prepared for the challenges in the run-up to the World Test Championship final against India, starting June 7. Even as leading Australian cricketers, who are a part of the squad for the two assignments, including Ashes, were busy playing in the Indian Premier League, Labuschagne, the No.1-ranked Test batter in the world, was gearing up for the WTC final and the Ashes for the last to months playing county cricket.
