LONDON : India's batters should be prepared to grind out runs in tricky English conditions against Australia's fiery pace attack in the World Test Championship final at the Oval, skipper Rohit Sharma said on Monday.
Rohit mastered these conditions during the 2019 World Cup when he smashed five hundreds in nine innings and, two years later, stroked a match-winning century in an Oval test against England. "So you've got to keep concentrating for longer periods of time and that is the challenge of this format." With Jasprit Bumrah recovering from a back surgery, Mohammed Shami will lead the pace attack for India who were beaten by New Zealand in the inaugural WTC final in Southampton two years ago.
