In an interview with JK 24x7 news, Amit Mishra spoke at length about the WTC Final. The Indian cricket team has declared its playing XI for the big match a day before the much-anticipated game. Interestingly, captain Virat Kohli and the team management included two spinners in the XI.
When asked about his opinion on India’s playing XI, Amit Mishra replied:
Although Amit Mishra was confident that this Indian lineup could perform well in the WTC Final, he felt India missed a trick by not naming a single pace-bowling all-rounder for a Test in English conditions.
Amit Mishra did not take any names, but he seemingly hinted at Shardul Thakur’s inclusion because he is the only pace-bowling all-rounder in India’s 20-man squad. He also probably referred to Colin de Grandhomme while saying the Blackcaps have got a fast-bowling all-rounder in their team.
India’s batting lineup is stronger than its bowling unit: Amit Mishra
Next, the host asked Amit Mishra to compare the strength of India’s batting and bowling units. Since India had more options available in the batting department, Mishra had no hesitation in saying that India’s batting was stronger than its bowling.
Unfortunately, the first session of the WTC Final has been abandoned due to rain. Fans await an official update from Southampton regarding the start time of the match.
