The final of the World Test Championship between India and New Zealand will be played in Southampton from June 18 to June 22. Many players including Mohammad Shami, Jaspreet Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja have returned to the team. On the other hand, youngsters like Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur and Washington Sundar have performed well in the latest series. In such a situation, Team India may have to work harder to select the Eleven to be played. Former England spinner Monty Panesar has been selected for the World Test Championship Final by Eleven of Team India.

Speaking to India Today, Monty Panesar gave his opinion on playing the Indian Eleven. Panesar chose openers Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma. In the middle order, they selected Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane and Shrabh Pant. Ashwin and Jadeja have been included as spinners in the bowling team for Panesar. At the same time, as fast bowlers, they have selected Ishant Sharma, Jaspreet Bumrah and Mohammad Shami in the XI. Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj and Washington Sundar are not in their squad.

As Monty Panesar predicted, Virat Kohli will score more runs in the Test series against England

While playing India with two spinners, Monty Panesar said he believed India should play against New Zealand with Ashwin and Jadeja. Because there is no better spinner than these two currently. They bowl in partnership and understand each other’s game. All in all, he is a road-smart cricketer.
