India is in a strong position to win the World Test Championship (WTC) Final after Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane put on an unbeaten 71-run stand for the second wicket. India needs 373 runs more with 8 wickets in hand, and the match is still in the balance.
Kohli and Rahane have been batting well since the start of the innings, and they have put on a solid partnership. Kohli is batting on 71 runs, while Rahane is batting on 50 runs. The two batsmen have looked in good touch, and they have shown no signs of being troubled by the Australian bowlers.
Australia will need to break the partnership if they want to win the match. However, it will not be easy, as both Kohli and Rahane are experienced batsmen. India will also be hoping that Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant can contribute with the bat, as they are both capable of scoring big runs.
The match is being played at the Kennington Oval in London, and the weather is expected to be sunny for the rest of the day. This will favor the batsmen, and it will be interesting to see how the bowlers adapt to the conditions.
India will be hoping to win the WTC Final and claim their first title. Australia, on the other hand, will be hoping to defend their title and win their second WTC title. The match is still in the balance, and it will be an exciting finish.
