Oval: Ahead of the World Test Championship final, the latest picture of the pitch with fire burning on the chests of the batsmen of both the teams. Ahead of the final, a grass pitch has been set up for the final, according to a photo released before the finals. The pitch gives a clear indication that the pacers of both the teams are getting ready to play six at the Oval. Two days ago, commentator Dinesh Karthik shared a picture of the grassy pitch on social media. But yesterday, DK announced new information through Twitter that some grass was cut. A picture of the pitch similar to this has surfaced just hours before the start of the match.
With the picture of the oval pitch clear, the approximate picture of India’s playing eleven is also becoming clear. Shardul Thakur is likely to join the team as the fourth pacer along with Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj and Umesh Yadav. Thakur is likely to get a lot of swing and movement on the pitch at the Oval. With this, the Indian team can play only one spinner in the playing eleven. If the team management decides to increase the batting strength, then Ravindra Jadeja will also get a chance in the XI over Ravichandran Ashwin. While captain Rohit Sharma and youngster Shubman will continue as openers, KS Bharath is likely to make it to the playing XI along with the experienced Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane as wicket-keeper batsmen.
Indian Probable XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, KS Bharat (wicket keeper), Shardul Thakur, Umesh Yadav, Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj.
