The World Test Championship (WTC) Final between Australia and India ended
in disappointment for the Indian cricket team, prompting a poll to
determine the biggest mistake made by the team. The poll results shed light
on the opinions of fans and experts alike. The majority believe that
India’s decision to exclude their experienced spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin,
from the playing XI was a grave error. Ashwin’s proficiency in extracting
turn and his ability to trouble batsmen could have proved crucial on the
pitch. Additionally, India’s batting collapse in the first innings, wherein
they lost key wickets cheaply, was also considered a significant mistake.
The absence of substantial partnerships and the failure of the middle order
to contribute significantly were other notable errors pointed out by
respondents. The poll underscores the importance of these factors in
India’s defeat.
