changes in their batting line-up to win the fourth Test against Australia.
If Ahmedabad wins the Test, the Indian team will also reach the WTC final.
It is known that the Australian team, which lost badly in the first two
matches of the Border Gavaskar Trophy, bounced back unexpectedly and won
the third Test. Aussies qualified for the World Test Championship final
with this win. With this, India is competing for the second berth.If India wins in Ahmedabad, India and Australia will meet again in the WTC
final at the Oval in England. Keeping this in mind, Ponting advised Team
India to field their strong team in the fourth Test. He said that if they
play this match without making proper changes in the team, India will waste
their chance to reach the WTC final. He reminded that the final of the Test
Championship is a single Test match and there will be no chance after that.
So choosing the right team is very important, he said.
The Aussie legend advised India to pick a team that would be successful in
the conditions in England. He said that as long as the sun is there, the
batting at the Oval is very good and compared to other wickets in the UK,
the Oval is the best. ‘So we need people who can quickly understand the
conditions there. It is better to forget this last series which is being
played before that, because the conditions seen in India now are very
extreme’, he concluded. Also, in the Ahmedabad Test, whether it is Aussies
or India, he believes that both the teams will select the team keeping in
mind the WTC final.
