WTC Final 2023 IND vs AUS : The sensation spread in the midst of IPL 2023 when the BCCI announced Team India for the finals of the World Test Championship 2023. Although the team had to be announced, because Australia had already announced its team before this. But suddenly the team would come so soon, no one had any idea about it. The team did come, but the one player who entered in it surprised everyone. We are talking about Ajinkya Rahane. Who was running out of Team India for almost two years, but he/she has been given a place in the Indian team for the final of Test which is considered as the World Cup. Meanwhile, no one came to know that what happened after all, how Ajinkya Rahane finally got a place in the Indian team. It is a different matter that he/she is currently batting well for CSK in IPL, but everyone knows that there is a difference between IPL and Test. But what happened before the announcement of the team, about which not many people know.

This is how Ajinkya Rahane returned to Team India

In fact, the IPL 2023 season for Ajinkya Rahane has been explosive so far. he/she is batting with the highest strike rate not only in CSK but also among players from all over the world playing in IPL. his/her strike rate is currently touching 200. Meanwhile, a TOI report has revealed that when there was talk of Ajinkya Rahane’s return to Team India, CSK captain MS Dhoni was first discussed. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is currently the captain of Ajinkya Rahane in IPL and he/she got information about Rahane. It is said that this call was made by Team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid to Dhoni, when the green signal was given by Dhoni, after that it was decided that now Ajinkya Rahane will return to Team India.

Ajinkya Rahane can bat at number five in WTC final
Anyway, for Team India, there was a need for such a batsman in the middle order, who can adapt himself according to the conditions and after that he/she can bat in the same way. Shreyas Iyer was completing it till now, but he/she was first ruled out of IPL due to injury and now he/she will not be able to play for Team India for some time to come. For the opening, the Indian team has batsmen like Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Shubman Gill. After this there are Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli, but Suryakumar Yadav at number five was given only one chance and he/she could not do much. The number five position in Test cricket is one where a team needs a quality batsman the most and the BCCI is hoping that Ajinkya Rahane will deliver. It has to be seen how they manage to perform in the finals of the WTC.
