Rohit Sharma’s team will be eyeing their first ICC title after a long period of 10 years as they won the 2013 Champions Trophy under the leadership of MS Dhoni.
On the other hand, Australia are coming to play the WTC final for the very first time and will be hoping to add another ICC trophy in their cabinet as they have already sealed ODI World Cup, T20 World, and Champions Trophy titles earlier. But for India, this will not be the first time as last year also they played the WTC final where they lost the game to New Zealand at Southampton in England by eight wickets under the leadership of Virat Kohli.
Team India will be led by Rohit Sharma who will be eyeing to go past his colleague Ajinkya Rahane and former India skipper Sourav Ganguly’s record of most Test wins by an Indian skipper against Australia.
