India's Predicted XI vs Australia, WTC Final: Ravichandran Ashwin Or Ravindra Jadeja Or Both - Major Question For Rohit Sharma's Team
Team India will be up against Australia in the much-awaited World Test Championship final at The Oval starting from Wednesday. India have been the most consistent side over the past two WTC cycles and also reached knockout phases of major white-ball tournaments over the last 10 years but an ICC trophy has eluded them. The last major ICC trophy India won was way back in 2013 when it bagged the Champions Trophy in England. A lot of debate regarding the Playing XI has been going on, especially for the position of the wicketkeeper. As Rishabh Pant has been out of action since December, last year and KL Rahul has also been ruled out, the squad consists of Ishan Kishan and KS Bharat as the wicketkeeping options.
Here's what we think could be India's playing XI against Australia for the WTC Final:
Rohit Sharma:The Indian skipper had a mediocre run in the IPL for the Mumbai Indians and will look for redemption in the WTC final. Rohit is known for his aggressive batting and had smashed a century against Australia in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in February this year. He finished the four-match series with a total of 242 runs.
Shubman Gill:The young talented opener needs no introduction as he has been grabbing a lot of attention in the past few months. Coming from a successful IPL stint, Gill will look to continue his fiery form. In his last Test outing, he played a knock of 128 against Australia in March.
Cheteshwar Pujara:The veteran batter will be a must-watch as he is coming after delivering top performances for Sussex in County Cricket this year. Pujara's brilliant experience will be really beneficial for Team India in the marquee event.
Virat Kohli:Virat Kohli battled through his lean patch and roared back
