India vs Aus WTC Final: Players to watch out for and their current rankings

Winning the big titles is what defines the legacy of a team but whatever may be the outcome of the final at The Oval, India head coach Rahul Dravid’s opinion about his team won’t change.

“In the context of things, you look at this and you see this is the culmination of two years of work. It’s a culmination of a lot of success that gets you here,” said Dravid ahead of the title clash.
