The final match will be played between India and Australia from June 7 at the Oval in London. Meanwhile, former Australia captain Ricky Ponting talked about the playing eleven of Team India. He told why it is necessary to include Ishaan Kishan in the playing XI of this match.
Ricky Ponting talked about this Ishaan Kishan in ‘ICC Review’. Potting told that Ishaan Kishan can give X factor, which Team India will need to win the match. Although Ishaan Kishan has not made his Test debut yet. Ponting said, “I will choose Ishaan Kishan. If you want to become world champion, you have to win the match. The sixth day (reserve day) has been added only so that both the teams can be given a chance for the best result.
The former Australian player further said, “I would have gone with Ishaan Kishan in the match. I think Ishaan gives some X factor, which you need to win the Test match. Obviously if Rishabh Pant was fit, he would have been playing and Would have given India the X factor, but he isn’t. Ishaan would do well at wicketkeeping, but he can give you the high scoring run rate that could be needed to carry on in the Test match winning pursuit.”
