London. The ICC World Test Championship Final (WTC Final 2023) will be played at The Oval from June 7 between India and Australia. It has been 10 years since Team India won the ICC Trophy. Despite this, in the press conference held on Monday, Team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid says that there is no pressure on his team regarding the final. The Indian team has reached the WTC final for the second consecutive time where it will face the Kangaroos for the first time. Both the teams will be facing each other for the first time at the Oval.
Rahul Dravid said that it would be nice to win the trophy for which the team has been working hard for the last two years. India lost to New Zealand in the WTC final in 2021 while it has been losing in the knockout stage in other ICC tournaments. Dravid said, ‘No, there is no pressure on us. I mean we are not feeling any pressure to try and win an ICC trophy. Obviously it would be nice to win a trophy. To be able to win an ICC tournament would definitely be nice. But in this context you also have to see that this is the culmination of two years of hard work. You reach here only after achieving many successes. So we have many positive aspects. Winning the series from Australia, drawing the series here, competing everywhere is what this team has.
Indian players have reached London directly after playing IPL. It will be a big challenge for Team India players to return to Test from T20 format. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team has a chance to create history. It will not be easy for Team India to adjust to the conditions in London.
