WTC Final 2023, India vs Australia: The Indian cricket team is facing constant criticism after its defeat in the World Test Championship (WTC) final match. Australia beat India by 209 runs in the WTC final, which no one had expected. At the same time, former India selector Sarandeep Singh has blamed captain Rohit Sharma for this defeat.
Everyone was surprised that off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin did not get a place in the playing 11 in the WTC final. Sarandeep Singh also said in his statement that Ashwin should have been included in the playing 11 of this match. The Indian team could not succeed in winning the title after reaching the WTC final for the second time in a row.
Sarandeep Singh said in his statement to ANI that we can say that there was a clear lack of captaincy. We are used to the aggression of Virat Kohli. When the team goes down, then it is the responsibility of the captain to maintain their confidence. But Rohit appeared completely different in this matter.
The selection of playing 11 was also done wrong.
In his statement, Sarandeep Singh also gave a statement on the playing 11 of this important match and said that it is not only Rohit Sharma’s fault. We lost the WTC final also because of the wrong selection of playing 11. Ravichandran Ashwin is a great bowler and he can get wickets anywhere. There were 5 left handed batsmen in the Australian team. The name of Travis Head is also included in the same. Had Ashwin been playing in such a situation, perhaps the story could have been different.
Sarandeep Singh in his statement attributed the defeat to the senior players present in the team and said that whenever big matches happen, the performance of the senior players in the team is not seen at all. You can watch ODI World Cup semi-finals 2019 or Asia Cup matches. We should give batting wickets to our batsmen on home ground so that they can be able to bat for a long time and their confidence can increase for test cricket.
