Fans might get to see the end of India's long-awaited ICC title drought if they beat arch-rivals Australia in the upcoming India vs Australia World Test Championship 2023 Final, starting from June 7 at Kennington Oval. India have dominated mighty Aussies in Tests in recent times but when it comes to playing finals of an ICC event, their record isn't impressive. Shubman Gill and Cheteshwara Pujara will hold key for India in the grand summit clash. Rohit Sharma's recent form with the bat is quite worrying while Ajinkya Rahane is making an inspiring comeback to the Test squad. Sadly, match winners like Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant aren't part of the WTC Final because of their injuries.

Ex-India skipper Virat Kohli, arguably the greatest of all time, is currently in red-hot form, scoring back-to-back tons in the recently-concluded IPL 2023. The senior batter holds an impressive batting record against Australia in Tests. In 24 Tests vs Australia, Virat has scored 1979 runs in 42 innings with 8 centuries and 5 half-centuries. He is one of the Indian players who pose a major threat to Aussies in the IND vs AUS WTC Final.

Former Australian cricketer Greg Chappell has made a massive remark about Virat Kohli ahead of India vs Australia WTC Final 2023 clash.

"Virat Kohli was asked a lot of questions in England in 2014 and 2021 by [Jimmy] Anderson, [Stuart] Broad and the rest of the English bowlers. They bowled some excellent lines and lengths to him in conditions that suited them. They knew he is the best, and lifted themselves when bowling to him. To think or say that the Australians will be able to do the same from ball one is not correct. The English know their own conditions better than anyone else in the world. And Virat loves to bat against the Australians. We have seen that in Australia," Chappell said at ‘Backstage with Boria‘.

"His record is evidence of how good he is. He loves a contest and is never one to back off from one. The Oval, from all of my experience, is going to have bounce and it will suit Virat. You have said to me that the weather has stayed dry so far. If the weather continues to stay dry, The Oval is as close to an Australian wicket in England as you will ever get. And that will suit Virat. I think if he is mentally switched on, like I have said to you earlier in the conversation, he will get runs for India. He is a very good player and someone who can make a telling difference," he added.
