London: When the World Test Championship final between India and Australia starts the next day, the Indian fans are worried regarding whether the Indian players who will come to the IPL hangover will be able to switch to Test mode. The Indian players are all set to play the World Test Championship final within a week of the IPL. On the other hand, Australia arrived in England earlier and started training.
Despite this, former Indian coach and Australian player Greg Chappell has clarified that it will be an Indian batsman who shines in the World Test Championship final. None other than Virat Kohli himself. Chappell said that the conditions at the Oval are favorable for Kohli, that there will be good bounce at the Oval and that the weather is dry at the moment, which is favorable for Kohli.
Kohli is always the preferred batsman to bat once morest Australia. We have seen him excel before in Australia. In terms of fighting spirit, Kohli does not shy away from challenges. From my experience the pitch at the Oval has bounce similar to the pitches in Australia. Similarly, if we look at the weather so far, it will be a dry season at the Oval.
Without Kohli, Rohit and Smith, Cricket Australia has selected the World Test XI with surprises
Both of these things are positive for Kohli’s batting. If the dry weather continues, it will be like Kohli getting an Australian pitch in England. Kohli, who has excelled in Australia in the past, can score runs in the conditions at the Oval if he has changed mentally from the T20 mode. Greg Chappell said Kohli’s performance will also be crucial in the final.
India and Australia will begin the World Test Championship final at the Oval in England on Wednesday.
