India vs Australia, WTC Final 2023: From the first day of the World Test Championship (WTC) final match, the Australian team appeared to completely dominate India. After this, India also had to face a big defeat of 209 runs from the Kangaroo team. On the last day of the final match, the Indian team had to score 280 more runs to win, in which they had a total of 7 wickets left. But Team India’s batting ended in the very first session.
When the Indian team came out to bat in the 5th day’s play, its score was 164 runs at the loss of 3 wickets. After this, Team India’s innings got reduced to 234 runs. Indian team batsmen are also facing criticism after losing all 7 wickets in a single session. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly said after the match that we had expected too much from the batsmen on the last day.
Former BCCI President Sourav Ganguly while talking to Star Sports after the defeat in the final match said that we had expected more than necessary this morning. 280 runs are too many. That too when you have only 3 main batsmen left. Batting in foreign pitches is not easy in the 5th day game because here the ball keeps on moving up and down continuously and movement is also seen in the ball. Double bounce is seen in the 5th day pitch in England or Australia. That is why so many runs have never been scored here on the last day.
Ajinkya Rahane impressed with his performance in both the innings
Ajinkya Rahane, who returned to the Indian Test team after a long time, definitely impressed a bit with his batting in both the innings of Team India. While Rahane got 89 runs in the first innings with the bat, he managed to reach a score of 46 runs in the second innings.
