R Ashwin had left IPL 2021 before suspension to take care of his family and a lot of fans were concerned over his availability for the WTC final and keeping that in mind, he has recently posted a video of him practicing. His fans had expressed this concern on Social Media. However, when one such fan did so, R Ashwin responded to him, clearing all the doubts of anyone else who thought he would not be playing in such a crucial match for the Indian team.

The match will surely be quite significant to the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli. He will want to secure a win at any cost. There is no doubt that the Indian skipper loves the longest format of the game and that very reason is sufficient enough for him to cricket push the team to its limit. It is just one five-day game against New Zealand that they have to win, to win the inaugural edition of the tournament.

The match is scheduled to be played at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton, however, the English conditions may not be the most preferred by the Indian team. King Kohli and his men will be up against a mighty Kiwi side, marshaled by Kane Williamson.

R Ashwin could play a key part in deciding the winner of the much-awaited contest. He will be expected to, not just contribute with the ball but bat as well. Hopefully, he will be up for the challenge and can deliver when the team will need him the most. The conditions may not really favor him but Ashwin is a smart cricketer.
