Which Indian cricketer is likely to win a WTC Final?
- Thread starter Majestic
- Start date
Lol Indian supporters on this forum simply can't take the pain and humiliation of getting bombed in two WTC Finals. Additionally, they also choked hard in the South Africa tours whenever they played there. The thread is about whether can any Indian cricketer win a WTC Final and all they have to come up with is that it doesn't matter winning for them lol, simply say it's the England conditions where you guys are not capable of winning against any SENA nations no matter how many finals you reach 
No wonder these Jadeja's, Ashwin's will always be overhyped and not rated among the all time greats of the game irrespective of how many wickets they pick because they are the biggest home bullies.

the only reason why you guys even pretend to care about this tinpot trophy is because it masks the fact that you havent won a test series against us in ages

Re the question in the original post:
I think Ravindra is probably the answer.
Rachin Ravindra will produce a match-winning 100 in the 2027 or 2029 final.

I like the WTC but the first two didn’t count. NZ had the easiest of runs up to the WC, still had to rely on Australia getting penalised on run rate, got a warm up series before the final and had the friendliest conditions possible against India. They then needed 6 days to win. It was all rigged because the ICC felt bad about the 2019 WC Final.
The second WTC was a farce as Australia was cheating, just like they did in the 2023 WC Final @ankitj

that wc final pitch removes any suspicions of ICC favouritism towards India

Correct. They need to rectify this.

I agree that NZ's 2-0 win over India was quite easy. We were ranked the number 1 test team in the world in 2021 so playing inferior teams is usually easy.
Don't forget that Australia would've needed to go to SA and win either 2-0 or 3-0 but cancelled the tour. The run rate excuse isn't valid.
Also regarding the "6 days" there was just over 300 overs in the WTC which is 10 sessions of play. Unfortunately for India, Kyle Jamieson was the best cricketer on the planet at the time and they couldn't handle him.

First of all it was over rate, not run rate. And it is absolutely valid.

Okay, I meant over rate. But Australia cancelled their SA tour. They could've gone and tried to qualify for the final but didn't.

It's still the reason they didn't make the final. That's an objective fact

Agree, but they CHOSE not to tour (objective fact) citing Covid concerns despite the fact that Sri Lanka had only just toured. Australia chose not to give themselves a chance to make the final. Health is far more important than sport so it was probably the right choice. I expect South Africa would've at least drawn the series and very much doubt Australia would've won 2-0 or 3-0, but not touring is the reason they didn't make the final as it made it impossible.

Correct, both things can be true
Highly unlikely given where both teams were at

Australia were very poor away from home at that time and sandpaper gate would've been very fresh in everyone's minds.

Australia usually win in SA, how they are away from home in other places is irrelevant. SA were also a significantly weaker side than 2018. They lost a few great players in the intervening years IIRC
