The ball came on the leg side and was paddled by Rohit Sharma. Appealed but the umpire did not rule out.

India’s potential team includes; Rohit Sharma (captain), Subhman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav/ R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammad Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj.

India cannot rule out the possibility of fielding senior spinner Ravichandra Ashwin as an extra bowler. Rohit hinted in the press conference that he should not rule out the possibility of testing Ashwin, who can contribute with the batting as well. Suryakumar Yadav will have to be left out of the team if Ashwin arrives.

Reports suggest that both the teams may not be ready to make any changes in the team. There were earlier hints that Rohit might try six bowlers. But the team coach Rahul Dravid’s position is that there is no doubt about the form of the five bowlers.

Fans are looking forward to who the pitch will support in Ahmedabad. The curator concluded that both teams can score more than 250 runs. But it will be difficult for the chasing team to cross the 300-run mark. Whoever wins the toss decides to bat first. The first innings will be unfavorable for swing. But from the beginning of the second innings, the nature of the pitch may favor pace bowling. If the team batting first scores more than 300 runs, it will be easy to defend. A light snowfall during the night is also likely to create adverse conditions for the spinners.

The wait to find out who will be the world champions is only a matter of hours. Going into the finals of the tournament undefeated, nothing less than lifting the crown is ahead of Rohit Sharma and his team. Pat Cummins’ Kangaroos, on the other hand, are trying hard to repeat 2003. It is interesting to note that Ahmedabad will be the last World Cup in the current format. After four years, the Cricket World Cup, which has changed in shape and form, is also waiting for the fans.
