They have a golden opportunity to end their 10-year-long wait to win the World Cup Trophy in front of over 1 lakh fans and cricket lovers at the world’s largest stadium. However, fans are wondering if Team India will replace India pacer Mohammed Siraj with veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin at the finale.
As spinners have got good help from the Ahmedabad surface in the last few matches, there are speculations that India would be tempted to play Ashwin under spin-friendly conditions. Moreover, Siraj had a very bad game in the semifinal against New Zealand. Hence, there are several speculations of Ashwin in India playing eleven for the World Cup 2023 final.
On the other hand, many other fans are of the opinion that Rohit Sharma and the team management are very likely to opt against it. The reason is simple. India would not want to tinker with their winning combination in the finale.
