The highly anticipated World Test Championship (WTC) final between India and Australia is set to take place from June 7-11 at the iconic Oval in London.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the clash between Rohit Sharma’s Indian team and Pat Cummins’ Australian side as they battle it out for the prestigious ICC trophy.
