The World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 final team for India, consisting of 15, has been revealed. India and Australia will compete in the World Test Championship final at The Oval in June. Ajinkya Rahane has rejoined the Indian team, but a Twitter debate has also erupted as a result.
On social media, cricket enthusiasts are criticising the BCCI for adding Ajinkya Rahane to the team and asserting that the importance of the Ranji Trophy and all domestic cricket has utterly passed.

About 15 months after his last appearance for Team India, Ajinkya Rahane is back. Rahane played domestic cricket while not participating in the squad and did extremely well. He has excelled not just in this but also in the IPL, where he was acquired by CSK for Rs. 50 lakh. Many users of social media believe that Rahane’s readmission to Team India was only based on his IPL performance in this circumstance.
In the first five innings of the IPL 2023, Ajinkya Rahane has made 209 runs with a strike rate of 199.04. Rahane bats for Chennai Super Kings in the middle of the order. Many social media users are shocked by his choice despite his excellent shape. Social media users claim that instead of the Ranji Trophy or domestic cricket, BCCI currently makes selections based on the IPL .
Sarfaraz Khan should have been given an opportunity before Ajinkya Rahane, according to some people. On social media, supporters have also shared Sarfaraz’s domestic cricket statistics.
