The Men in Blue are well aware of the bitter memory of losing the previous ICC World Test Championship Final 2019-21 to New Zealand under the leadership of former skipper Virat Kohli. It is imperative for the team management to learn from past mistakes and avoid the temptation of selecting two spinners, as The Oval’s pitch favors the pacers immensely.

This final marks the first time India and Australia will lock horns in an ICC tournament final since the 2003 ODI World Cup. The Australian batting lineup will face a stern test against the likes of Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj, who have the potential to dismantle any opponent’s batting order.

Indian fans are hopeful that skipper Rohit Sharma will hit his stride in the final, despite facing struggles in the ongoing IPL 2023. Additionally, the question of whether Ishan Kishan will replace KS Bharat for this marquee clash adds further intrigue to the team selection.

Cheteshwar Pujara recently shared his thoughts in an interaction with bcci.tv, acknowledging the team’s collective effort and expressing his delight at qualifying for the WTC final. He remained optimistic about the team’s prospects and drew inspiration from India’s recent success in England.

“It has been an incredible journey over the past couple of years, with many players making significant contributions to the team. It’s important to recognize the efforts of all those who have contributed during this cycle,” Cheteshwar Pujara stated.

Overall, looking back at the last couple of years, it has been an exceptional journey for the Indian test team,” he added with pride.
