IND vs AUS: The final of the World Cup 2023 will be played between India and Australia on Sunday, November 19 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It is not hidden from anyone that the weakness of the Kangaroo team is the spinners. Australian batsmen seem to be struggling in front of Ravichandran Ashwin. In such a situation, there is a debate about playing Ravichandran Ashwin in place of Mohammad Siraj in the title match.
Team India captain Rohit Sharma gave a big statement in the press conference regarding the team India playing 11 from the final against Australia. He said that whether there will be a change in the playing 11 or not will be decided before the match. Anyone can play in 15. He wants every player to be prepared. Team India has performed brilliantly in the World Cup.
What did Rohit Sharma say about Team India playing 11?
Regarding playing 11 in the World Cup final against Australia, Rohit Sharma said, “We have not decided anything. All 15 can play. The opportunity is there for everyone and we will assess the pitch tomorrow and 12 to 13 players are ready to play. We have not decided on 11. I want every player to be prepared.”
Mohammed Shami wreaked havoc
Before the injury to Hardik Pandya, the team was fielding with 5 batsmen, 2 all-rounders, and 4 bowlers. The team combination changed after Hardik’s exit. The team is going with 6 batsmen, 1 all-rounder, and 4 bowlers. After Pandya’s injury, Mohammed Shami got a chance in the playing 11 and he has wreaked havoc on the opposition team.
Will Team India make changes in the playing 11?
There may be debate about Ashwin and Siraj, but Team India is unlikely to make any changes in the playing 11. Pace attack like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Mohammed Shami has not been seen in the entire tournament. Talking about spinners, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav have performed well. The thing that goes in Ashwin’s favor is that he played against Australia in Chennai. He took 1 wicket giving 34 runs in 10 overs. However, after this match, he is sitting on the bench for the entire world.
