“Why Bhuvi isn’t even considered Stand by or net Bowler?” – Twitter reacts after BCCI name 5 players in stand-by list in Indian team for WTC Final

Team India have qualified for the ICC World Test Championship Final for the second consecutive time. Rohit Sharma and Co will be looking forward to giving it their best shot against Australia in the second edition of the ICC World Test Championship final.

The highly-anticipated event is scheduled to be held on June 7 at The Kennington Oval in England. The wicket is expected to assist the batters since it is batting-friendly and the team that wins the toss will be looking to bat first.

If the batters make use of the chances to better effect, then they have a greater chance of winning the match. Earlier, in the previous edition of the World Test Championship, India were the runners-up as they lost to New Zealand in the final.

BCCI spoiling his peak

Even if Ishan plays with a 1 feet wide bat, he will manage an edge in English conditions, if afterall he manages to touch the ball
