Michael Clarke Prediction India vs Australia Final Champions Trophy: In the ICC Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan and UAE, Team India will start their campaign against Bangladesh. After this, India has to play the match with Pakistan and then New Zealand. Team India, led by Rohit Sharma, will be eyeing winning the second ICC title within 10 months. Many veterans have considered the Indian team to be the best contender for the tournament. Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has not only considered Team India a contender for the tournament but also believes that there will be a title match between India and Australia.
Clarke’s prediction over Champions Trophy’s spelling match
Speaking about the Indian party on 23 cricket podcast, Michael Clarke said, “I can’t choose his best XI. However, I think there is no doubt that he will miss Jaspreet Bumrah. He is a big shock. In my opinion, he is the best bowler in all the format in the world. The squad will see that I believe that I will keep them in my top-4 without Bumrah. ”
Clarke further said, “Shubman Gill is in good form. Rohit Sharma’s 100 came to a few matches before, even if she has returned in the form.” Regarding Hardik Pandya, Clarke said that he is a superstar and he will be an X factor. And the tournament is going to be fantastic for them.
At the same time, Michael Clarke said about the title match, “I am crossing the finger for Australia. I am going to say that Australia is going to be one of them and I think they will play from India in the finals.” Clarke further said, “I think India is going to defeat Australia in the final.”
India practiced after reaching Dubai
The Indian team started practicing on Sunday at the beautiful ICC Academy Practice ground before the Champions Trophy, in which Mohammed Shami spent a lot of time with bowling coach Morney Morkel. There was no question of alternative practice between the new standard operation process (SOP) strictly implemented, so from captain Rohit Sharma to young Harshit Rana, everyone practiced.
Shami, who returned to international cricket through T20 and ODI against England, was wearing a stretched cap on his knee. He started with a short runup. Before the batsmen came to the net, Shami was seen adjusting her language and went to the end of the batsmen with bowling coach Morney Morkel. It seemed that he was talking about what should be the ideal language.
Shami bowled fiercely after the batsmen landed for the practice. Hardik Pandya and Shreyas Iyer played Kuldeep Yadav and the rest of the spinners. Rishabh Pant got a ball in the knee with a strong shot by Pandya. He groaned with pain but Physio Kamlesh Jain immediately treated him. Pandya came out of the nets and came to know his condition. By the way, the injury was not serious and Pant immediately came for batting practice wearing a pad.
During the practice, Kohli was seen as a idol of concentration. Rohit was seen in a good mood after a century against England last week in Cuttack. During the net practice of the main batsmen, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakraborty and Pant practiced with fielding coach T Dilip. Kohli was seen joking during ‘Fun Activity’.
