After nearly two years of competition, the World Test Championship will conclude with a match between India and Australia.  

The highly anticipated World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 Final between India and Australia is set to take place from June 7 to June 11 at The Oval in London.  

Australia won 11 tests and finished top, while India won 10 tests and finished second in the WTC 2021-23 cycle. 

India has reached the finals two years in a row, confirming their dominance in the game’s longest format. In the most recent WTC, New Zealand defeated India, gaining the mace and reigning as world champions. 

Here’s a look at key player for India in WTC Final 2023.  

Virat Kohli  

Kohli is back to his best, having just struck back-to-back hundreds for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League.   

As India prepares for the World Test Championship finals, the ex-skipper’s presence in the lineup adds a layer of force.  

His faultless batting technique, astute shot selection, and unwavering concentration make him a lethal opponent for any bowling attack. Kohli is a difficult batsman to dismiss due to his ability to thrive under pressure and turn small starts into massive scores. 

Shubman Gill  

Shubman Gill has demonstrated great potential and skill in Test match cricket. Gill’s ascent to stardom has been astonishing, as he has easily transitioned from the domestic circuit to the international scene.  

Gill exhibits confidence and elegance when wielding the willow, thanks to a beautiful batting technique and a wide range of smashes. His ability to adjust to diverse settings and scenarios is impressive, as he has shown maturity beyond his years in dealing with quality bowling attacks.   

Mohammed Shami 

Shami will be the leading pace bowler for India in the WTC Final 2023 in the absence of star pacer Jasprit Bumrah. 

The right-arm fast bowler is currently in good form, having won the purple cap in IPL 2023 for taking most wickets with 28 in 17 games. He has previously fared well in England and will be an important pacemaker on the home turf. Shami has 225 wickets in 63 Tests. 

Ajinkya Rahane 

Apart from these top-3, India is hoping to see good knock from in-form Ajinkya Rahane, who has made a comeback to the Indian side, courtesy of his brilliant IPL run with CSK in 2023 edition.

The seasoned batter added another gear to his batting in the just finished IPL 2023 season and aims to play with the same zeal in the approaching summit showdown.

IND vs AUS WTC Final: Who will win? 

Australia is clearly the most dominant Test team right present. But there is one club that consistently gives them a hard time on the pitch. India is the team, and Australia has not defeated them in a Test series since 2014/15. They were defeated both at home and in India.  

Both teams have shown tenacity by performing brilliantly throughout the competition. However, India appears to be a step ahead of Australia in the fight for the trophy.  

Based on the last several Tests between these two sides and the performances of Indian players in England, we predict India to win this WTC Final Test match and take home the WTC trophy this time.
