Team India defeated Australia in an away series without several of their key players, who were injured. They then trounced England 3-1 at home to confirm their berth in the WTC final.
On Friday, the BCCI took to its official Twitter account to share a video featuring some of Team India’s memorable WTC moments. The clip was captioned:
The video includes Team India head coach Ravi Shastri’s powerful message to the side in the wake of their famous win Down Under and moments from the victory lap at The Gabba.
Team India announced their playing XI for the WTC final on Thursday itself. Both frontline spinners - Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja - found a place in the team, while Ishant Sharma was picked ahead of Mohammed Siraj.
BCCI President Sourav Ganguly’s advice for Team India ahead of WTC final
Former India captain and current BCCI President Sourav Ganguly thinks Team India should bat first if they win the toss in the WTC final, even if the conditions are overcast.
According to Ganguly, India have done well when they have batted first away from home. He told India Today:
Ganguly also stated that openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will have the major responsibility of seeing out the new ball and making life slightly easier for the Indian middle-order.
The winner of the inaugural WTC final will take home a purse of $1.6 million, as well as the ICC Test Championship Mace.
