WTC Final: ‘It will not be easy’, former Australia all-rounder warns Team India

New Delhi. Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson has almost warned Team India ahead of the World Test Championship Final, saying that it is difficult for players to adjust their game from IPL to red ball Test cricket. It is possible. The WTC Final is to be played between India and Australia from June 7 at the Oval ground. Let me tell you, IPL 2023 has ended on June 29 only and except for Cheteshwar Pujara, almost all the players of Team India were a part of it while only a few players from Australia participated in this tournament.

Players like Shubman Gill, Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja have been associated with Team India in London only after the final between CSK and Gujarat Titans on 29th May. Cameron Green and David Warner of Australia team are the only players who are part of IPL 2023 and are also members of Indian team of WTC final.

Have to understand, on which ball you can score runs
Watson said in a discussion with ESPN cricinfo, there is no doubt that it is going to be difficult for the players to come from T20 to Test mode. They have got very little time for this. Players should make better use of it by facing more and more red balls in the net. This is the only way you can get back in your game. In this face, with positive and aggressive intent, you also have to understand that on which ball you can score runs and which ball is very risky.

Will have to mold the game according to the swing of England
He discussed how the batsmen could get used to the Dukes’ ball in England. Watson said that due to not having a tour match before the World Test Championship, the players would find it difficult to adjust to the conditions in England. Especially with the constant swing of the ball, you need to get the head in the right place to adapt your game accordingly.

WTC Final team is going to play on India Green Garden, fans got angry after seeing only green grass, said- where is the pitch

Significantly, the Indian team has reached the WTC final for the second time in a row, while this is the first time for Australia. For India, this will be an opportunity to end the ‘dry’ of the ICC Trophy. It has been 10 years since Team India won the ICC Trophy. The Indian team last won the ICC trophy in the form of Champions Trophy in the year 2023.
