Virat Kohli has voiced his excitement over the 2023 WTC final versus Australia. After two months with RCB, he will don the white jersey of the Indian cricket team.
Kohli had a very fruitful IPL season, scoring 639 runs in 14 matches at an average of 53.25, including two magnificent hundreds. RCB failed to make the playoffs despite Kohli and Faf du Plessis’ amazing performances.
Indian players whose IPL teams finished in the group stage have arrived in England to prepare for the forthcoming Test against Australia. Some of these players are Virat Kohli, Mohammed Siraj, Umesh Yadav, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel.

Rohit Sharma on India’s journey to the 2023 WTC final
Rohit Sharma reflected on his Test team’s journey ahead of the WTC 2023 final in a video released by the Board of Control for Cricket in India. He highlighted their continuous performances over the last two years, which culminated in their qualifying for the final battle.
“To be standing here and knowing we have qualified for the finals feels really great because all the efforts you put in for the last two years finally have come to the fore. Obviously, the job is not yet done, we have to go out there and get the trophy for us in the final.”
“After the WTC final in Southampton, we quickly had to regroup and get ready for the next cycle. I thought in that cycle we played some really tough cricket. We were challenged a lot of times and I thought to come out of that was obviously going to take a lot of character from everyone, not just a few individuals.”
In February 2023, India and Australia played a four match Test series. Indian team captained by Rohit Sharma won the home series 2-1.
