India is all set to ply their trade in the final of the ICC WTC Final against Australia. The long wait for the ICC trophy might well end up but for they need to bring their A game and play a high brand of cricket. The final of the World Test Championship will be played from the 7th to the 11th of June at the Oval, England and the preparations for it are in full flow.

2 Shocking selections India might do for the WTC finals against Australia

Give debut to Ishan Kishan 

One of the Shocking selections India might do for the WTC finals against Australia is that they might hand debut for Ishan Kishan in the big final. With no Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul in the team. KS Bharat and Kishan are the two keepers in the side. The former played all four games against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and looked decent as well. Whereas the left-hander was called into the squad as a replacement for Rahul. It might be surprising if they bring in Ishan Kishan in the playing XI for the important final to fill in the shoes of Rishabh Pant.

Play both R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja 

Another Shocking selection India might do for the WTC finals against Australia is that they might play both R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. Playing two spinners in English conditions is something most teams don’t do. The conditions in the UK offer great help for pacers. But India might end up playing Ashwin and Jadeja. They did the same during the last WTC Final and the move backfired. But they still might be tempted to play both the spinners in the Oval, considering the pitch offers spin as well. Of late, India has played just one spinner and four seamers in the team.
