Harbhajan Singh Excludes KS Bharat in WTC Final Playing XI

After much anticipation, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has finally revealed India’s 15-member squad for the highly-anticipated ICC World Test Championship final against Australia. Fans will be excited to see the world’s top-two ranked Test teams go head-to-head at the Oval from June 7 to 11, with a reserve day set for June 12. In the squad, former Test vice captain Ajinkya Rahane has been given a chance to prove himself once again after showcasing his skills in domestic cricket and the current IPL 2023 season, where he represents CSK. However, the exclusion of Suryakumar Yadav might come as a surprise to some, considering he made his Test debut against the Baggy Greens in Nagpur earlier this year. All in all, with this squad, India will be raring to lift the championship trophy, making it one of the most highly-anticipated events of the year in the cricketing world.

The Indian cricket team has been making some changes to their squad for the upcoming Test against England. Among the changes are the exclusion of Kuldeep Yadav and Ishan Kishan from the team that played against Australia last month. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer was not considered due to injury. On the other hand, Rahane and Shardul Thakur have earned a recall to the Test side. Interestingly, KS Bharat is the only specialist wicketkeeper-batsman selected by the team management, which is a clear indication that he will be the one to don the gloves at the Oval. However, former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has a different opinion. He believes that India should not play Bharat, but instead select a 31-year-old star for the WTC 2023 final against world No. 1 Australia. It’s always thrilling to see different opinions and strategies being suggested, leaving cricket fans excited to see what the team will ultimately decide.

As the Indian cricket team prepares for the World Test Championship final against New Zealand, opinions on who should make the final XI are pouring in from all corners. Harbhajan Singh, the former Indian cricketer, has given his verdict on who should play as the wicketkeeper-batsman for India. According to the Turbanator, KL Rahul should bat at No. 7 and keep wickets in the final. Harbhajan believes that sending a message to Rahul to start keeping will be more beneficial for the Indian team than playing KS Bharat. He believes Rahul will be high on confidence as he has already scored a century at the Oval. With KL Rahul in the team, India’s batting will get stronger, and the positions between Jadeja and KL Rahul can also be swapped. It remains to be seen whether the Indian team management takes note of Harbhajan’s advice and picks KL Rahul for the final.

In the world of cricket, team selection is always a hot topic. Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has caused quite a stir with his preferred eleven, which features some surprising choices. One of the most notable decisions was to leave out Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel, despite their impressive performances in recent Test matches. Instead, Harbhajan has opted for a top order partnership of captain Rohit Sharma and young gun Shubman Gill, followed by the experienced duo of Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli. Rahane makes a comeback at No. 5, with Jadeja at No. 6. The lineup is completed by Rahul, Shardul, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, and Umesh Yadav. It remains to be seen how this unconventional selection will fare in upcoming matches.
