Delhi: The countdown for the World Test Championship final to be played at Lord’s from 11 June has started and another exciting match is eagerly awaited. In the last two World Test Championship finals, New Zealand defeated India in Southampton in 2021 in the first final and Australia defeated India at Oval in 2023. Now Australia is competing with South Africa. Both the 5 most memorable moments of the previous World Test Championship Finals have become part of history:
5/31 of Kyle Jamison:
This record was performed against India, this Kiwi bowler in the final played in Southampton of 2021. He was in excellent form and the weather and pitch of England came to him and shocked India’s batting on the second day of the Test. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant also had big wickets in his 5 wickets. India out at 217 in the first innings and with this, New Zealand reached a strong position in the Test. He was the Player of the Match.
Ross Taylor – Kane Williamson Precious Partnership:
This is also a story of the 2021 final against India. India gave a target of only 139 runs to win New Zealand to win the title. Even then Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja were trying to show some miracles. By 44 runs, Ashwin sent both openers Tom Latham and Devon Conway Pavilion and were expected to turn the dice. In such a situation, Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor thwarted every attempt of any miracle of India bowlers in the partnership of 96* on the last day. Williamson and Taylor made New Zealand champions with a brilliant innings of 52* (89) and 47* (100) respectively.
100 who won the title of Travis Head:
This is one of the few occasions when Travis Head took away success from India. This is a 2023 final at the Oval and Travis Head batted well. When this Khabbu came to play the batsman, it was a 76/3 score and David Warner, Usman Khwaja and Marnas Labushen had returned to the pavilion. The head with Steve Smith took over the innings and then neutralized Indian bowling, scored 163 runs off 174 balls with the help of 25 fours and a six and added 285 runs for the fourth wicket. It is from here that Australia became the match. This was the first 100 of any batsman in the WTC final. It is said that the Travis Head alone snatched the title from India.
Rahane’s best effort:
In response to Australia’s 469, when India’s batsmen were battling and the Test was becoming almost unilateral, Ajinkya Rahane handled India’s first innings in this problem. When he came to the crease, the score was 50-3 and after a while Virat Kohli was dismissed to 71-4. Rahane returned to the Test team 18 months after being out of the team and faced the pace attack of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Scott Bolland without being affected by this pressure. With 11 fours and a six scoring 89 runs off 129 balls, and India reached the score of 296 from where the competition could have been.
Scott Bolland’s amazing spell:
Josh Hazelwood was named in the playing lineup in the 2023 final against India, but he got a chance to get a chance due to his absence and he shone on the big stage. Bolland did not let this opportunity go by hand. In the first innings, Shubman Gill took 2 wickets including big wickets and did a lot of wonderful in the second innings. India was struggling at 179/5 at a time due to the boolland in front of the big target of 444 runs. He proved to be the life of Australia’s fast bowling attack and his 3/46 Australia as a Test champion.
