IND V AUS: My Dream Is To Win WTC Final For India, Says Pujara Ahead Of 100th Test Appearance
After winning the Nagpur Test by an innings and 132 runs, India now need to win two more matches against Australia to clinch a spot in the WTC final, to be played between June 7-11 at The Oval in London, for the second successive time. Australia are currently at top of the WTC standings, with India in second place.
"There is a lot more to achieve. I am definitely satisfied and really excited to play this hundredth Test match. But at the same time, we are playing an important series. So, hopefully, we win this Test match and move on to win another Test match which will ensure we will qualify for the WTC final. My dream is to win a WTC final for the Indian team, which didn't happen in the last final. But hopefully, once we qualify, we move towards that," said a determined Pujara in the pre-match press conference on Thursday.
