WTC FINAL- INDIA BEST XI

Only three days are left in starting of the first World Test Championship final and the excitement for the final is massive because India is playing in that final.

When comes to big matches there is always speculation in media who should play or whom to drop. I think for Virat Kohli this is a good headache to have such kind of variety in the squad and to be honest, every player seems ready to play and make their mark.

But today we will break out the probable playing 11 which is going to face mighty New Zealand who recently thrashes England on their home soil.

Starting with an opening -Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are the main contenders to start and in the real world, the team will go with them despite Shubhman failures against England but considering his performances against Australia and his talent he should start and there is no doubt over Rohit Sharma what he can do and how major role he can play in this historic test.

Coming to third position Cheteshwar Pujara is out an out starter, If you are making India test 11 in the current scenario and you are not adding him then probably you are doing crime. And on 4th position the fan-favorite and our captain Virat Kohli will come and I hope we will see his some classic Kohli cover drives and Coming on 5th position, Mr.Cool Ajinkya Rahane will come, Rahane will be a Vice-Captain of the team and I hope we will see his inside out shots and he will make us fall for his batting again. And in 6th position the destructor Rishabh Pant our wicketkeeper batsmen will come and I am pretty sure he will show off his muscle by hitting sixes out of the ground and in my opinion he will be the X-Factor of the match because of how he bats if he plays one session everyone knows how he can turn the match in India favor, I have lots of expectations from him and I will not be surprised if we see daddy hundred in front of his name in this match.

Now real trouble starts whether captain Kohli wants to go with 5 Bowlers or 4 Bowlers in this match. In a realistic world Team India should go with Jadeja for position 7 because he is rock solid, he is in great form he is one of those players who can do anything at the highest level what he offers to a team is impeccable his Batting, Bowling and Fielding he ticks all the department which a team wants from a player and now for position 8 there will be a good internal debate whom to play- Ashwin or Siraj, Reports suggest Siraj swing and pace tempts the Team Management but Ashwin is Ashwin one of worlds best spinner at the moment. But in my opinion, I have checked the weather of Southampton and there is a high probability that rain will come or it will be cloudy which means there will be more moisture in pitch, in that case, Siraj what I will go for but if it is a sunny day in Southampton then Ashwin will go to an option for Team India I think this whole saga will depend on Weather and it will be a tough decision for management.
Coming to the next 3 Bowlers I think there should be no doubt that India will go with Mohammad Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ishant Sharma but there are rumors if Ashwin plays there is a possibility that Siraj can play in place of Ishant Sharma but I feel Ishant Sharma deserves this opportunity he got great numbers in England and even in practice match he looks good as per reports and what he brings to the table is something that you need at big matches he has an experience of all those big matches so in these high-pressure match I feel India should go with Ishant Sharma.

So this is the lineup that I feel India will go with and on a personal level I don’t expect any crazy changes but if happens then there should be a good reason behind that.
