The final of the World Test Championship is almost here. On Thursday, June 7, at the Oval in London, India and Australia will play for the title. India hasn’t won an ICC title since 2013. It will be hard for them to win the mace and end their prize drought. A journalist told captain Rohit Sharma of the same thing before the big game, which made him angry.
During the press meeting before the final, a reporter asked the Indian captain if the fact that they haven’t won an ICC title since 2013 makes the players feel more pressure before the big game. Rohit Sharma told the reporter in a harsh tone that the team knows what they’ve won and what they haven’t.
“We know what the team has won and what they haven’t won. “It doesn’t help to keep thinking about it,” Rohit Sharma was quoted
The 36-year-old also said that he was asked the same question during the T20 World Cup 2022, and that the team management and all the players are doing their best to focus on the next game to get the best possible result for it.
Since 2014, India has made it to at least the semi-finals of every ICC event except the T20 World Cup in 2021. But the best cricketing country has never won a title because they have always lost either in the semi-finals or the finals.
As a result, the Rohit Sharma-led team will aim to win the WTC final on their second attempt after falling to New Zealand by eight wickets in the first final in 2021.
Before the game, India had the upper hand over Australia because they had won the last four Test matches between the two countries. But they won’t have Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah in the big game, which could hurt their chances of winning.
