Everyone is curious about the Indian team's playing XI ahead of the WTC final against New Zealand from Friday. Former India batsman VVS Laxman has described Ashwin as his first choice for this match as a spinner. At the same time, he believes that Jadeja is also a complete player, so keeping him out of the team will not be so easy.
The final of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) is to be played between India and New Zealand at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton from June 18. In this match, now all eyes will be on the playing XI of both teams. Keeping in mind the conditions in England, the team management would like to select a balanced team for this match. Talking about the Indian team, there is a lot of discussion about who should be given a place in the spin department in the final match. Former India batsman VVS Laxman has now given his reaction regarding this.
Laxman has said that Ashwin will be his first choice as a spinner in the WTC final. He said that Ashwin's performance in the last tour of Australia was excellent, so he would be his first choice for this match as a spinner. Laxman said, "As for spinners, Ashwin would be my first choice. In the last tour of Australia, he bowled brilliantly. He continued to dominate even a brilliant batsman like Steve Smith and got him out several times in that tour. India A big reason for winning that series was Ashwin's brilliant performance.
At the same time, about the team's all-rounder Jadeja, Laxman said that he is a complete player and his game has improved tremendously in the last few years. He said, "You cannot ignore Ravindra Jadeja even before selecting the team. His game has improved a lot in the last few years. He is no longer the only bowler who can spin in conditions conducive to spin. Can take wickets. Rather than changing his flight and pace, he can dodge the biggest batsman. I think he is a complete package for the team."
