In the lead-up to the ICC Cricket World Cup final against Australia, speculation brews over India's playing XI. Despite an unchanged winning combination, the mystery surrounding Ravichandran Ashwin's possible inclusion adds intrigue. The Ahmedabad pitch, favoring spin, and Australia's left-handed top order create a compelling case for Ashwin. However, the dilemma of who to drop, possibly Mohammed Siraj, lingers. Rohit Sharma, tight-lipped on the final XI, acknowledges a pool of 12 to 13 players vying for selection. He stated, "We haven’t decided on it. We will assess the pitch and will see it again tomorrow. Our 12-13 are decided. But we will come and see what is our strength. We will decide tomorrow," adding to the anticipation as the cricketing world awaits the decision.
