The Story in Brief
India head coach Rahul Dravid has expressed confidence in the team's preparation for the World Test Championship final against Australia starting June 7 at The Oval. Dravid said the squad has had good practice sessions and is ready for the challenge. He acknowledged that Australia are a strong side but backed India's bowling attack to take 20 wickets. India have not won an ICC trophy since 2013. The match will be played over five days with a reserve day.
The Indian Opinion
The World Test Championship final is a genuine test of consistency, not just a one-off spectacle. While India's batting frailties in English conditions are a known concern, the bowling attack with Shami and Bumrah offers hope. Rather than focusing on past failures, the real question is whether the team can adapt to the conditions on the day. The first innings total will be the decisive factor.
