London: Former coach Ravi Shastri has commented on who should be selected as India’s wicketkeeper for the World Test Championship series against Australia.

The Indian team is going to play in the final of the World Test Championship series for the 2nd time. As the Indian team lost in the last match against the New Zealand team, the Indian players are training hard in order to beat Australia and win this time.

In this situation, Ravi Shastri has commented that who should be chosen as the wicket keeper of the Indian team, KS Bharat or Ishan Kishan? In that, the Indian team should have learned a lesson from their defeat against the New Zealand team last time. Because the selection of the Indian team should be according to the pitch.

Last time New Zealand fielded without spinners while India fielded with 2 spinners. This time the selection of players should be according to the nature of the oval ground. Usually, matches are played at the Oval in August or September. This time it will be held in June, so it remains to be seen how it will work out.

As there will be more cloud cover, India’s playing XI selection will have to be careful. If 2 spinners play then definitely KS Bharat should play. If you decide to go with 4 fast bowlers, Ishan Kishan should be given priority. Both Ashwin and Umesh Yadav are in contention for a spot.

Maybe with two spinners at the Oval if the weather is good. Then Ashwin, Jadeja, Siraj and Shami can play. Otherwise Siraj, Shami, Shardul Thakur and Umesh Yadav will have to field. He said that the wicket keeper should be selected accordingly.
