India are facing formidable Australia in the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) Final 2023 at the Oval starting from June 7.
India won the toss and elected to bowl first as both the teams are aiming to win the high-octane championship for the first time. Though India were the finalist last time, they lost against New Zealand in the marquee game.
After being named in the playing XI, Team India skipper Rohit Sharma and former captain Virat Kohli have surpassed legendry MS Dhoni in creating the feat to play in most number of ICC finals for India.

Rohit and Virat now hold the joint second spot in terms of playing highest number of ICC finals for India.
Rohit has played the finals of 2007 T20 World Cup, 2013 Champions Trophy, 2014 T20 World Cup, 2017 Champions Trophy, 2021 WTC and 2023 WTC. Similarly, Kohli has played 2011 World Cup, 2013 Champions Trophy, 2014 T20 World Cup, 2017 Champions Trophy 2021 WTC and 2023 WTC.
