‘You need a little bit of luck going your way as well’, Shastri on WTC final

Team India will be aiming to end an almost 10-year wait for an ICC trophy later this month, when the side takes part in the final of the WTC against Australia. Ex-India head coach Ravi Shastri, believes the side has the potential to end the ICC title-drought.

Shastri said –

“You have to compete. Sometimes, you need a little bit of luck going your way as well. I won’t say we didn’t play good cricket. We have played very good cricket. The rub of green hasnt’ quite gone their way. I always say, this team is good enough to win an ICC trophy.”

Those players are still there.” Indian squad reached England in multiple groups owing to IPL schedule to prepare for the WTC Final. The game will mark India’s return to international cricket after over two months.

Shastri further said –

“Everyone’s saying Australia are clear favourites because we are playing in England. But it’s a one-off Test, just one bad day can ruin your chances. Australia also need to be very careful.”
