WTC Final: India Eye Greatest Title In Cricket
India have announced their playing XI for the inaugural World Test Championship final against New Zealand beginning here on Friday on expected lines. The team will comprise five specialist batsmen, wicketkeeper Rishab Pant at number six, followed by two spin bowling all-rounders and three fast bowlers.
The line-up covers, as captain Virat Kohli put it in a press conference minutes before the announcement, "all bases". It takes into account the contingencies such as the metamorphosis of the wicket over five days and the fickle English weather. India enjoy an edge over opponents New Zealand in the batting department.
