WTC 2023 Final : 7th June 2023. That is, the date when the two big teams of Test cricket will face each other in the World Test Championship. On this day the final match will be played between India and Australia in the ICC WTC final. Many big players including Team India’s former captain Virat Kohli, Mohammad Siraj have reached England, where this clash will take place at The Oval ground. After the IPL 2023 final i.e. May 28, all those players who have been selected for the World Test Championship final will leave for England. It is another thing that there is still more than ten days to start, but the playing eleven is in a mess. That is, who will be the players who will be seen playing in the finals.
What will be the playing XI of Team India in WTC final?
What will be the playing XI of Team India in the final of the World Test Championship 2023, the more relevant question is that which players will be there, who will not be able to join the playing XI of the final despite joining the team. The biggest question is that what chance will Ishan Kishan get. The special thing is that when the BCCI announced Team India for the WTC final, then Ishan Kishan was not in that team. Two players were included as wicket-keepers, first KS Bharat and second KL Rahul. But in the middle of the IPL, K Rahul got injured, after that he was dropped and Ishan Kishan’s team enters his place as a replacement.
Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan still waiting for Test debut
Although Ishan Kishan was also involved in the series of four Test matches played against Australia this year, but he was not given a chance to play in a single match. He stayed with the team, but remained on the bench. The special thing is that no matter how many runs Ishan Kishan has scored in T20 and ODIs, he has not made his Test debut yet. Now the question is whether in an important match like the final, will the Team India management give him a chance to debut or will he go with KS Bharat. KS Bharat has played four Tests against Australia, in which he could not impress with his batting, but it is certain that he has done amazing keeping. In such a situation, it should be believed that KS Bharath will be a part of the playing XI and Ishan Kishan will have to wait for now.
KS India
Only one player out of Umesh Yadav and Shardul Thakur will get a chance
After this the question is about Umesh Yadav. In the fast bowlers who have been selected for the final in Team India, playing of Mohammed Shami and Siraj is almost certain, because both of them have done well in IPL, so they cannot be left out. At the same time, Shardul Thakur’s claim as the third fast bowler is being considered strong, because he can also bat well. The last time in the year 2021, when Team India came to play in this ground i.e. The Oval, Shardul Thakur scored a half-century. There can be two spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. If it is decided to play only one spin at the last moment, then only Umesh Yadav will get a chance, otherwise he may also have to sit out. Although it will be too early, when the entire team will reach India The Oval, after that the final decision will be taken on the morning of the match after seeing the pitch.
