India- IND
India has picked a strong 15-man line-up for the World Test Championship final. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will be tipped to open the innings for Team India. The pair did really well during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2020-21 and the same performance will be expected from them in the upcoming WTC final.
In middle-order Team India have the services of Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara, and Rishabh Pant. The middle-order looks well set under India’s in-form batsmen. There is nothing much to worry about for the Indian cricket team in that area.
Coming to bowling, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, and Jasprit Bumrah will lead the fast-bowling attack. Adding to that Ravi Ashwin is expected to lead the spin attack for the team. Meanwhile, Mohammed Siraj is expected to emerge as a key bowler for Team India due to his scintillating bowling form in the recent past.
The team management will however have a big selection headache on which player to pick between Ravindra Jadeja and Ravi Ashwin. But, they are expected to go with the latter as his vast experience can be vital for the Indian cricket team in the WTC final
New Zealand- NZ
New Zealand is one of the lucky teams on the planet to play a two-match series in England ahead of the WTC final that is slated to take place in England itself. They have got dashing opener Devon Conway, who was at his best in the recently concluded Test series against England. He played a memorable knock of 200 runs at the iconic Lords Cricket Ground.
Will Young and Ross Taylor also played impressive knocks in the first innings of the 2nd Test. They showed a glimpse of what damage they can give to India in the World Test Championship. Also, they have the world’s number 1 Test batsman on their side i-e- Kane Williamson.
Coming to bowling, undoubtedly they have one of the best fast-bowling line-ups in red-ball cricket. They have impressive bowlers like Tim Southee, Trent Boult, and Kyle Jamieson, who rely on their pace and swing while bowling duke balls. On the other hand, Neil Wagner will have an eye deceiving Indian batsman with his extra-pace and brutal bouncers.
