Atul Wasan said this before the World Cup final
Noida (ANI): Ahead of India’s World Cup final against Australia, former Indian cricketer Atul Wasan suggested that captain Rohit Sharma should take a measured approach against fast bowlers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood. India will take on Australia in a repeat of the 2003 Cricket World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The Men in Blue will be hoping to win their third World Cup title and avenge their 125-run loss to Australia in 2003. “The preparation has been good because we have won all our matches.
It seems that the match will be easy but it will not be because I know the Australian team well and have played with them. They are energetic and dangerous. He has that undying spirit. They have six to eight players from the 2015 and 2019 World Cups so they have experience in big matches. They are not under pressure like our team because they take the game as a game. But here, cricket is a matter of life and death. Our players know this and handle the pressure. This is why Virat Kohli and Rohit are legends.
Every team had a bad day in this World Cup. Hope this never comes to us,” Atul told ANI. He said, “Rohit has been overly aggressive in his approach. But I fear that Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood will do well against them, so they should take a measured approach.” Asked whether India had an edge over Australia because of the results of bilateral series this year, Atul said those matches are a thing of the past. He said, “Australia lost two matches but they regained the momentum at the right time. On the other hand, we have remained at the top for so long.” Atul said that the team is performing well because many players are performing brilliantly.
“All the players are performing well, that is why the team is performing well. Earlier, only one or two players played really well and the rest were not so good. Rohit has created a platform for the rest of the players with his batting.” This is the reason why Virat Kohli has performed so well. Mohammed Shami has performed so well, but it is Jasprit Bumrah who puts pressure on the batsmen due to which other bowlers are successful. Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav have also played their roles well, they will be our trump cards tomorrow,” he said. India team: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishan Kishan, Prasidh Krishna, Suryakumar Yadav. . Australia team: Pat Cummins (captain), Steve Smith, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Sean Abbott, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitch Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner, Adam Zampa, Mitchell Starc. .
