LONDON : India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to field in the World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval on Wednesday.
India picked a lone spinner in all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, while KS Bharat retained his place as the wicketkeeper ahead of Ishan Kishan."He has been a match-winner for us, it is not a great occasion to leave him out, but you have got to do what is best for the team in the given conditions." The beaten 2021 finalists have brought back veteran Ajinkya Rahane to bolster their batting lineup against Australia who are playing their first WTC final.
Australia captain Pat Cummins said he too would have preferred to bowl first on a wicket that promised considerable bounce."It looks like it's got a little bit of grass. I'm sure he'll be a weapon," Cummins said of Boland's inclusion.
Australia - David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Alex Carey , Pat Cummins , Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland.
