Day 1 of the WTC Final saw 14 wickets fall as Rabada’s five-for rattled Australia, but their pacers hit back hard, leaving South Africa at 43/4.

Wickets galore on Day 1 of WTC final between South Africa, Australia

Day 1 of the WTC Final saw 14 wickets fall as Rabada&rsquo;s five-for rattled Australia, but their pacers hit back hard, leaving South Africa at 43/4.

Australia overcame a miserable morning to rock South Africa back on its heels by the end of day one of the World Test Championship at Lord's on Wednesday.
Ball dominated bat all day as 14 wickets fell on a slow pitch for 255 runs.
South Africa's Kagiso Rabada took 5-51 and new-ball partner Marco Jansen 3-49 to brilliantly rout the defending champion for 212, the last five wickets for just 20 runs.
But even in the baking sunshine, the Australia pacers were even more potent. Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and captain Pat Cummins strangled the Proteas batters to 43-4 in 22 overs by stumps.
The trickle of runs made Beau Webster's 72 and Steve Smith's 66 even more remarkable. They were the only batters all day to score more than 23.
&ldquo;Starcy had the ball on a string,&rdquo; Webster told the BBC. &ldquo;It's tricky for a batsman. Our bowling attack's been so strong. We know if we don't quite get it down with the bat, our bowlers will get it down. Outstanding effort from the boys.&rdquo; Australia's 212 total looked to be below par until its fast bowlers made it seem imperious.
Starc got Aiden Markram to chop on for a duck in the first over of South Africa's reply. Starc got the other opener, Ryan Rickelton, to edge to slips on 16.
Starc should have also had Wiaan Mulder on 1 but wicketkeeper Alex Carey dropped a sitter.
Mulder dug in for 44 balls to make 6 when he opened up to drive at Cummins and was bowled through the gate at 25-3. In the same over, Proteas captain Temba Bavuma defended and edged Cummins but the ball dropped just short of Usman Khawaja in the slips.
Bavuma would reach stumps on 3 off 37 balls but without Tristan Stubbs, who was castled on 2 by Hazlewood.
David Bedingham finished the day with consecutive boundaries, only his team's fourth and fifth of a bleak innings.
Australia is defending the WTC mace it won for the first time in 2023, while South Africa is chasing its first ICC trophy in this century.
Proteas wisely bowl first When he won the toss, Bavuma didn't hesitate to put the ball in the hands of his two biggest threats, Rabada and Jansen.
They pounced on the bowler-friendly conditions: So overcast and gloomy that the stadium lights were turned on after the 10 a.m. toss.
Many of the Proteas hadn't played at Lord's but they'd done their homework; Rabada bowled up the slope looking for edges and Jansen bowled down the slope looking to nip ones in. They were disciplined and rewarded with four wickets in the first session.
Rabada's wobble seam struck out Khawaja on a 20-ball duck for the sixth time in 11 tests, and Cameron Green on 4 in the same over. Green was batting at No. 3 in a test for the first time and edged Rabada to second slip, where Markram took a great ankle-high catch.
All this time, Marnus Labuschagne, Khawaja's fifth opening partner in 17 months and opening for the first time in a test, scratched around the crease looking for rhythm amid a long, lean spell.
The veteran looked as set as is possible to be after an hour and a half in hostile conditions, scoring 17 from 56 balls, until he feathered Jansen behind and slow-walked back to the pavilion at 46-3.
Smith was joined by the aggressive Travis Head. In the 2023 final, they joined at 76-3 and partnered for 285 runs. Not this time.
Lunch was two minutes away when Head fell for a Jansen tickle down leg that keeper Kyle Verreynne took spectacularly with a diving one-handed catch.
Australia was 67-4 at lunch, during which the sun started peeking through. Lord's lore says the sunshine makes batting easier.
Smith made hay. His ninth boundary brought up his 50 and Australia's 100.
Webster rode his luck. He struggled to handle Rabada and Jansen but once they left he accelerated. Together, old stager Smith and the novice Webster &mdash; he debuted in January &mdash; cruised to 79 together and South Africa was flagging in rising temperatures.
Bavuma undermined South Africa's cause with poor review decisions: They didn't review a plumb lbw for Rabada, reviewed a lbw shout which hit the middle of the bat, and wasted a second review.
When Mulder wanted to change ends, Bavuma accommodated by giving the ball to part-time spinner Markram. He tossed one up and Smith, who'd passed his Lord's average of 58, gave a thick edge behind to the 2.06-meter (6-foot-8) Jansen, who juggled the catch.
Webster, with his second test fifty, and Carey got Australia to tea at a healthy 190-5. But after the break Carey gave away his wicket to Keshav Maharaj and the tail collapsed in 26 more minutes, mopped up by Rabada, who was suspended only six weeks ago, and Jansen.
&ldquo;He was unbelievable,&rdquo; Jansen said of Rabada. &ldquo;I could see in the game blood in his eyes.&rdquo; Rabada's second five-for at Lord's earned him a standing ovation.
But by the day's end, it was the Australian fans applauding.&nbsp;

India last won an ICC title way back in 2013, when they won the Champions Trophy under MS Dhoni.

WTC final 2023, IND vs AUS: Australia beat India by 209 runs to win maiden title

Team India's wait for their first ICC title in 10 years got even longer as Australia beat Rohit Sharma's men in the World Test Championship (WTC) final by 209 runs at the Oval.

Here is how Day 5 unfolded

India last won an ICC title way back in 2013, when they won the Champions Trophy under MS Dhoni.

Team India's wait for their first ICC title in 10 years got even longer as Australia beat Rohit Sharma's men in the World Test Championship (WTC) final by 209 runs at the Oval.
Chasing a 444-run target, India resumed at their overnight score of 164/3 on Day 5 but things quickly went downside for them.
No batter managed to score even a fifty in the 2nd innings as India was bowled out for 234. Virat Kohli top-scored with 49.
While India last won an ICC title way back in 2013, when they won the Champions Trophy under MS Dhoni, the Aussies won their maiden WTC title to take ICC title count to 9.

Team India still need 119 runs to avoid the follow-on against Australia with 5 wickets in hand

WTC final 2023, IND vs AUS: Team India in trouble, end Day 2 at 151/5

Team India still need 119 runs to avoid the follow-on against Australia with 5 wickets in hand

Team India was pushed towards the wall on Day 2 of the WTC final at the Oval as Australia is in command of the ultimate Test.
Indian bowlers helped the subcontinental giants fight back on Day 2 as Australia lost 8 wickets for just 108 runs and were all out for 469. Mohammed Siraj the chief destroyer with 4 scalps.
India began strongly in reply as Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill put together a 30-run stand, before both openers were dismissed in consecutive overs.
Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli also went back cheaply as India found themselves wanting at 71/4.
Ravindra Jadeja and Ajinkya Rahane tried to steady the ship with a 71-run stand but Nathan Lyon got rid of a well-set Jadeja for 48 in his second over.
Rahane returned unbeaten on 29 as India ended Day 2 at 151/5, still trailing Australia by a mammoth 318 runs.

Losing the toss was one of the only two things which probably didn't go right for the Aussies. The other was losing 3 wickets with 76 runs on the board

WTC final 2023, IND vs AUS: Steve Smith & Travis Head tame India on Day 1

The opening day of the World Test Championship (WTC) final may have begun on a great note for India but Australia made sure they ended Day 1 in command.
Losing the toss was one of the only two things which probably didn't go right for the Aussies. The other was losing 3 wickets with 76 runs on the board.
It was all Australia from there on. Travis Head tamed Team India with a counter-attacking 146 not out to put his side back on track. He became the third cricketer to hit a ton in the WTC final.
Steve Smith proved to be a willing ally as he too scored an unbeaten 95. A stand of 251 between the two helped Australia end Day 1 at 327/3.

The senior players donned both the limited-overs kit as well as the Test kit, which they will sport for the first time on June 7 versus Australia.

WTC Final: Virat Kohli among Team India players leaving for England on Tuesday morning

The first batch of Indian players & support staff members, including Virat Kohli & Rahul Dravid, will leave for the UK in the early hours on Tuesday.

#WTCFinal #ViratKohli

Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill, Mohammad Shami, K S Bharat, and Ajinkya Rahane will stay back in India for the IPL playoffs.

Virat Kohli, along with teammate Mohammad Siraj, will depart for the highly anticipated World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia in London in the early hours on Tuesday.
The departure comes shortly after their team, Royal Challengers Bangalore, was knocked out of the IPL. Joining them on the flight will be spinners R Ashwin and Axar Patel, all-rounder Shardul Thakur, and the team's support staff led by Rahul Dravid.
Completing the first group of players are Kolkata Knight Riders' pacer Umesh Yadav and Lucknow Super Giants' Jaydev Unadkat, who is recovering from a shoulder injury.
According to a BCCI source, there will be two or three batches of departures, with the first group leaving at 4:30 am on Tuesday. The remaining seven players, including skipper Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill, Mohammad Shami, K S Bharat, and Ajinkya Rahane, will stay back in India for the IPL playoffs.
Cheteshwar Pujara is already in England playing county cricket and will join the squad in London. However, there will be no warm-up game for the Indian team since the English County Championship is underway, and the ECB is not obliged to arrange practice matches for the visiting team due to it being an ICC event.
A BCCI source mentioned that playing against a select county XI wouldn't provide quality practice as it would primarily consist of second-team or development squad players, as the first-team players are not released during the championship.
While the majority of the Indian players will enter the title clash after two months of IPL, only three Australians bound for the WTC final participated in the league. Last week, Ricky Ponting commented on the mental preparedness of the Australian team, stating that they haven't been playing much cricket but might be mentally better prepared, while Indian players have valuable game time behind them.
India, who were runners-up in 2021, will be eager to claim their first ICC trophy in a decade. The World Test Championship final begins on June 7.

<h2>KL Rahul has confirmed that after consultation with the BCCI medical team, he has decided to undergo a surgery that will keep him out of action for weeks</h2>

Indian batter and LSG captain KL Rahul confirmed that he will undergo surgery on his thigh and as a result, will miss the World Test Championship Final.
While speculations were already rife that Rahul would miss the one-off Test in England against the Aussies, the 31-year-old confirmed the development through a social media post on Friday afternoon.
Rahul wrote: 'After careful consideration and consultation with the medical team, it's been concluded that I'll be undergoing a surgery on my thigh shortly. My focus will be on my rehabilitation and recovery in the coming weeks. It's a tough call to make, but I know it's the right one to ensure a full recovery.
As the team captain, it pains me deeply not to be able to be there during this crucial period. But, I'm confident that the boys will rise to the occasion and give their best performance as always. I'll be cheering for them from the sidelines with all of you, watching every game.
Absolutely gutted that I won't be at the Oval next month with Team India. I'll do everything I can to get back in blue and help my country. That has always been my focus and priority. @indiancricketteam
I want to express gratitude to each one of you - my fans, that gave me the strength to get back up, the LSG management and the
BCCI for their promptness, and my teammates for their unwavering support during this difficult time.
Your encouragement and messages mean a lot to me and motivate me to come back stronger and fitter than ever before.
Meanwhile, I promise to keep you all updated on my progress, and hope to be back on the field sooner than soon. The last few days have been really hard, but I'm determined to come out on top.
Injuries are never easy, but I'll give it my all as always. Thank you for all the support and good wishes.'

Shreyas Iyer to undergo surgery, set to miss IPL & WTC Final: Reports

In what can be a major blow to Team India and to the Kolkata Knight Riders, Shreyas Iyer is likely to undergo surgery for his back injury.

Here are the details

Shreyas Iyer is expected to have his surgery either in London or somewhere in India under the strict guidance of the BCCI

In what can be a major blow to Team India and to the Kolkata Knight Riders, Shreyas Iyer is likely to undergo surgery for his back injury.
According to a report in the Times of India, the middle order batter is expected to have his surgery either in London or somewhere in India under the strict guidance of the BCCI.
The report further stated that Iyer is expected to be out of action for at least 5 months after his surgery, which effectively rules him out of IPL 2023 and the World Test Championship final in June.
It will be tough for him to find a spot in the 2023 ODI World Cup in October, as well as Team India, is unlikely to consider the batter without playing him in the build-up to the tournament.

'It's going to be great coming up against India in the final, at the Oval. The wicket there can take some spin at times, particularly as the game wears on. So could be interesting in terms of what what sort of wicket we get. But it's a great place to play cricket. There's usually reasonable bounce and pace for an English wicket. It's probably as close as you get to Australia potentially in terms of pace and bounce,' added Smith.

'If you look at what we embarked upon at the start of Pakistan, into Sri Lanka and into India, we set that as three series in the subcontinent and we come away from that with three wins, three losses and three draws. And that's a pretty tough World Test championship cycle. So to finish on top of the table with that on the calendar is pretty impressive. And it's the world's number-one team still.

But yes, compared to what it is like playing in India for India or playing for Australia in Australia, it's not going to be like that. It's going to be slightly different from that, which I'm pretty sure both teams will prepare for it.

The premier Indian fast bowler will miss the full season of IPL as well as the World Test Championship final if India qualify for the match that starts on June 7.

Having already been ruled out of IPL 2023 as well as the World Test Championship final, there seems to be no end to Jasprit Bumrah's injury woes.
According to a PTI report, Bumrah will at least be out of action for another six months.&nbsp;
While the BCCI is assessing whether Bumrah requires back surgery, they are hoping to get him fit for the ODI World Cup in India in October-November. However, there's no guarantee yet whether he'll be available for the showpiece event.
The 29-year-old already missed the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup last year.

And once again their batters failed to counter the Kangaroos' attack in the second essay, managing only 204 runs in reply to Australia's mammoth 575-8.
With the win, the hosts have managed to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series and have almost confirmed a spot in the WTC final, which is scheduled to take place at The Oval in June.

Meanwhile, the Proteas still have a chance of reaching the final if they win the third and final Test, which starts on January 4 and whitewash West Indies at home in two-match Test series.
But even then, their WTC final chances will depend on the result of the India-Australia Test series.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed on Wednesday that the World Test Championship final for the current cycle will be held at The Oval. The event was earlier expected to be hosted at the Lord's Cricket Ground in London.
However, the home of cricket Lord's has been awarded the hosting rights for the WTC final for the 2025 cycle. The exact dates of either of the matches have not been announced yet
In the current cycle, Australia lead the table with 84 points followed by South Africa and Sri Lanka. India is currently at the 4th spot with 75 points.
The first-ever WTC final was also moved from Lord's to Southampton due to Covid-19 protocols. New Zealand beat India in that match.
