Ishan Kishan and KS Bharat are the available wicketkeepers because Rishabh Gasp has been out since December of last year, and KL Rahul is also ineligible.
The much-anticipated World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval is rapidly approaching for Team India. From June 7 to June 11.
The marquee game will be played, and both teams will try their hardest to win the WTC. Which India ultimately lost to New Zealand in 2021.
There has been a lot of discussion about the Playing XI. Particularly regarding the wicketkeeper’s position, with only four days until the match.
The team’s wicketkeepers are Ishan Kishan and KS Bharat due to Rishabh Pant’s absence. Since December of last year and KL Rahul’s absence as well.
Nayan Mongia, a former India wicketkeeper. Has said that the team led by Rohit Sharma should keep Bharat for the WTC final because he is a “specialized keeper.”
“I would utilise Bharat as a specialised goalie in England because of how well he has performed. He is not a bad goalkeeper because of one bad game.
He is an expert keeper. He has performed admirably over time. “He has done reasonably well to retain his place in the Indian team. Whatever limited opportunities he has gotten,” Mongia stated on Star Sports.
Mongia continued by stating that wicketkeeping in England is a challenging job. Describing the obstacles one might encounter during the match.
Britain has some of the most challenging conditions for keeping wicket. Especially during the first half, the ball dips and wobbles a lot.
You have to watch all 90 overs and get up with the ball. With the Dukes ball, we’ll play Test cricket.
When compared to the Kookaburra, it’s a little harder. The crease is upstanding, so the ball swings a great deal,” said Mongia.
I played in the World Cup. Where the ball really thumps your palm and smashes your gloves, so I know how difficult it is.
For bowlers, the ball maintaining its hardness for a longer period of time is a bonus.
The World Tennis Championship final will be held at the Oval in London from June 7 to June 11.
