There is still uncertainty regarding the starting lineup with just a few hours remaining in the World Test Championship final between Australia and India. Someone prefers Ishaan Kishan to KS Bharat as the wicketkeeper, while the other person prefers Ishaan Kishan. There are also concerns regarding Rahane's poor performance at the Oval after making a comeback for Team India, and there is uncertainty regarding whether to use either Jadeja or Ashwin as spinners or both of them. Sunil Gavaskar, a legend, has revealed his team. He has covered all angles.
The World Test Championship (WTC) final playing XI for India should include three fast bowlers and two spinners, according to former India captain Sunil Gavaskar. Ishan Kishan ought to be excluded from KS Bharath as well. In order to win the trophy after falling short to New Zealand in 2021, India will face Australia in the WTC final on June 7 at The Oval.
Gavaskar insisted on playing KS Bharath and said he should be kept ahead of Ishan Kishan against Australia before the final Test of the year. I'm going to talk about batting, Gavaskar said. The openers will be Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma. Cheteshwar Pujara is ranked third, Virat Kohli is fourth, and Ajinkya Rahane is fifth.
As he had to choose between Bharath and Kishan, Gavaskar saw a potential weakness in the No. 6 position for the national team. Gavaskar stated, "I believe either KS Bharat or Ishaan Kishan will be number six." Bharat has participated in every game to date. Bharat will likely remain in sixth place as a result. Three fast bowlers and two spinners made up the veteran cricketer's starting XI. Akshar Patel, the winner of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for India, was left off the roster.
Number 7 will be Ravindra Jadeja, according to Gavaskar. At positions 7 and 8, Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin are capable batsmen. Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, and possibly Shardul Thakur will be numbered 9, 10, and 11, respectively. Earlier, Kishan, who recorded a double century in ODIs, was selected by former Australian captain Ricky Ponting. Ishaan, in his opinion, is the X factor.
