For the second time in a row, the Indian cricket team will play in the World Test Championship Final. In 2021, the last time the Indian squad reached the major game, they lost to Kane Williamson’s New Zealand. The last time Team India won a trophy at this level was in 2013 when they defeated England in the Champions Trophy Final. Team India has also not had the greatest of luck in the knockouts over the past 10 years.
But the Indian team, which is captained by Rohit Sharma, appears to be in fine shape going into the WTC 2023 Final. Batsmen like Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and Cheteshwar Pujara appear to be in fantastic shape going into the top match, and they will want to keep it up against Australia as well.
