WTC Final 2023: India's strongest predicted XI
These players might feature in India's playing XI for the summit clash against the Aussies at the Oval, London.
3. Cheteshwar Pujara
Cheteshwar Pujara will reinforce India’s batting unit in the mega event against the mighty Aussies. His experience and skills will be essential for the team to lift the prestigious WTC mace. With more than 12 years of experience in his international Test career, he has smashed 7154 runs with 19 hundreds and 35 fifties in 174 innings of 102 matches.
In the last one and a half years, the veteran has played a lot of County cricket in England and that could help him to fare well for the national side against the Aussies. Currently, he is serving Sussex in the County Championship Division Two 2023. In the recently held match against Durham, he looked dominating and contributed 115 and 35 in his team’s phenomenal two-wicket win.
These numbers of Pujara will bring joy to the faces of Indian team supporters, and they will now expect their oldest stalwart to continue his form against the Aussies in the marquee contest as well. Talking about his batting numbers against Australia in the longest format, the 35-year-old has played 24 matches and racked up 2033 runs with five tons and 11 fifties in 43 innings.
