WTC Final 2023, India vs Australia: The first 2 days of the World Test Championship (WTC) final were entirely in the name of the Australian team. While the Kangaroo batsmen showed their mettle on the first day, the Australian bowlers showed their mettle in the second day’s play. Meanwhile, in the second day’s game, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly also questioned the decision of Team India captain Rohit and coach Rahul Dravid on the decision not to feed Ravichandran Ashwin.
The first innings of the Australian team was limited to scoring 469 runs in this match. In response, the Indian team had lost its 5 wickets till the score of 151 at the end of the second day’s play. Kangaroo team’s off-spinner Nathan Lyon also worked to strengthen his team’s hold by getting the wicket of Ravindra Jadeja at a crucial time, showing the magic of his spin.
Sourav Ganguly, who is playing the role of commentator in this match, said after taking the wicket of Lyon, who says off-spin bowler cannot play on a green pitch? Look at this ball from Lyon against the left-handed batsman. He has taken more than 400 wickets in Test cricket. At this time he has got the wicket of India’s best batsman.
On the other hand, in praise of Lyon, Ganguly further said that remember that he gets wickets not only in Asia but also in Australia, where there are pitches suitable for fast bowling. In my view, he is one of the greatest bowlers of all time.
India made a big mistake by including Ashwin
Ganguly had earlier also criticized the decision of not including Ravichandran Ashwin in the team. On the first day of this final match, Ganguly had said that the Indian team had made a big mistake by not including Ashwin. Jadeja will not get the help from the other end that he used to get when Ashwin was in the team.
