Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers has expressed that it is a difficult task to choose a favorite for the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) final. However, he believes that India has the edge over Australia and expects them to emerge victorious on the fifth day of the match.

During a preview of the game on JioCinema, De Villiers was asked to pick the favorites and the likely winners. He responded by acknowledging the challenge of choosing a favorite, given the limited Test cricket both teams have played recently. However, he noted that India’s previous win against a strong England team at The Oval could give them confidence heading into the final.

De Villiers further mentioned that he expects the match to go down to the wire, with India coming out on top on the final day. He highlighted the batting-friendly nature of the pitch but emphasized the potential impact of the Indian spinners in the latter stages of the match.

When asked to name an Indian batter who will have to play a crucial role in the final, De Villiers singled out Virat Kohli. He commended Kohli’s determination and desire to excel in high-pressure series, particularly in the UK and Australia.

Siraj, alongside Mohammad Shami, is expected to spearhead India’s attack and provide early breakthroughs in the crucial contest.
