India's Test captain Rohit Sharma is currently leading the team against Australia in the WTC final at the Oval Cricket Stadium in London. This is India's second WTC final as the Men in Blue have managed to get to the final on both occasions. Last year, the team lost to New Zealand in what was a huge disappointment to the cricket frenzy nation.
This time around, Rohit Sharma would be hoping to get over the heartbreak of the last season and get a win for the millions of cricket fans in the country. Following the first day's conclusion, the Indian captain has laid massive praise on young India batter Shubman Gill.
After the first day, Sharma said, Shubman Gill is the next big thing of Indian cricket." The right-hand batter recently won the Orange cap in Indian Premier League for scoring the most amount of runs in the tournament.
He outclassed players like Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli and others to get to the top of the run-scoring charts in the IPL 2023. Many now predict the batter to dominate the international cricketing scene. The WTC final however will be his first big challenge on the big stage.
Here's how Twitter reacted to Rohit Sharma's comments on Shubman Gill:
Australia dominate first day of WTC final
Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bowl first. Indian bowlers got the breakthrough early on as Mohammed Siraj dismissed Usman Khawaja early on at just 2. David Warner (43) and Marnus Labuschagne (26) however steadied the inning and took Australia towards calmer seas.
After these two batters departed however it was even more happier times for the Aussies. Steve Smith (95*) and Travis Head (146*) stayed on the crease till the end of Day 1 and took Australie past 300 (327/3). Head in particular played brilliant innings of 146 in just 156 deliveries.
Rohit Sharma and co had no answers for the batting duo of Smith and Head. The Indian team would have to come up with something special if they're to win the WTC final.
