Indian captain Rohit Sharma praised the character displayed by individuals on India’s journey to the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 final, but believes that the job is not yet finished and that they must achieve the best result possible in the summit clash against Australia.
The final of the 2021-2023 cycle of the World Test Championship will be held at The Oval in London from June 7 to 11.
“After the World Test Championship Final (2021) in Southampton, we had to quickly regroup and get ready for the next cycle.” I thought we played some really tough cricket during that cycle. We were challenged numerous times, and I knew that coming out of it would require a lot of character from not just a few people, but from everyone,” Rohit said in a video released by the BCCI.

“Look, it’s a cycle of two years and we play a lot of Test matches during that period. Lot of players have played in that cycle. Different individuals have stepped up, putting the performances that we were looking for from the individual,” Rohit said.
“To be standing here knowing that we’ve qualified for the finals feels really, really great. The boys are really happy about it because all that effort that we put in for the last two years finally has come to the fore. Obviously, the job is not done. We have to go out there and get the best result for us in the final,” concluded India skipper.
