Australia Missing India in WTC Final? Cummins Speaks Up | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G

Australia is up against South Africa in the World Test Championship Final, but the buzz around the match seems lukewarm. In a surprising admission, Aussie skipper Pat Cummins said, “You expect India to be around,” revealing just how much the Aussies were anticipating a showdown with their fiercest modern rivals. South Africa, meanwhile, enters its first-ever WTC final amid uncertainty about the future of Test cricket in the country. Despite the significance of the occasion, ticket prices were slashed at Lord’s due to India's absence, resulting in a staggering £4 million loss. With Temba Bavuma quietly confident and Australia perhaps underestimating the Proteas, could this final hold more drama than expected? Rupha Ramani examines the peculiar affection Australia has for India, South Africa's quiet rise, and the larger question—has the World Test Championship (WTC) lost some of its spark without India in the mix?
