Sachin Tendulkar said India have a decent chance of winning the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2021-23 final against Australia to be played in June at the Kennington Oval in London.
Earlier this month, India advanced to the final of the WTC after New Zealand beat Sri Lanka by one wicket in the opening Test at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. India also retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by winning the Nagpur and Delhi Tests, following which they won the series 2-1.
“We have played well and we have a good team, a balanced team. In those conditions, you have to see the overhead conditions and then also, the forecast comes into play. In Test cricket, you will have to understand conditions for the next five days and pick the squad accordingly,” Tendulkar said at the India Today Conclave 2023.
“It would be slightly challenging for a captain to have extra spinners in the team to get the balance right. I am only thinking from India’s point of view, let Australians do what they want to do. We stand a very good chance,” Tendulkar said.
