India and Australia are currently crossing swords with each other in the final of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final at The Oval, England. The Rohit Sharma-led side have won the toss and have opted to field first at the pitch, which has offered a lot for fast bowlers so far. 

Their decision to bowl first so far has paid off as Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj are breathing fire and have bowled some impeccable lines and lengths. They have tested the Australian batters with their lethal bowling and have made them dance to their tunes.
