Team India will take on Australia in the second World Test Championship (WTC) Final, beginning at the Oval in London on Wednesday. Rohit Sharma’s side ended up as runners-up in the first-ever WTC Final in 2022 to New Zealand.
Indian cricketers will be heading into this match after two months of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season. India have been the most consistent side over the past two WTC cycles and also reached knockout phases of major white-ball tournaments over the last 10 years but a trophy has eluded them.
The last major ICC trophy India won was way back in 2013 when it bagged the Champions Trophy in England under the leadership of MS Dhoni. Since then, the side has lost three finals and on four occasion it bit dust at the semifinal stage. It also made an exit at the preliminary stage of the 2021 T20 World Cup.
Out of the six series India played in this cycle, their only series loss came in South Africa and that led to an unexpected change of guard with Rohit Sharma taking over the leadership role from Virat Kohli. They remained unconquerable at home, drew a hard-fought series in England before surviving a slight scare in Bangladesh.
