NEW DELHI: There's has been general apprehension about India's preparations for the World Test Championship final at the Oval in London.
Playing a high-stakes one-off Test against Australia barely 10 days after the IPL final isn't being seen as ideal preparation, but former Australia captain Ricky Ponting says it isn't a disadvantage for the Indian players. India have 13 players in their WTC final team playing the IPL while Australia have just four.
