Aakash Chopra on The Oval’s Pitch
Aakash Chopra, in his recent video, was seen discussing the pitch of The Oval and how the duel between Virat Kohli and Pat Cummins will be an interesting contest to look forward to in the WTC final. Previously, Pat Cummins dismissed Virat Kohli five times in the Test Matches between the two countries.
“The pitch is usually good at The Oval and has bounced. I feel fast bowlers will have some assistance as the fixture takes place in the first week of June, and the deck won’t be overly flat. The battle I’m most looking forward to watching is Pat Cummins bowling to Virat Kohli. This is a duel that has produced riveting contests in Australia,”

Aakash Chopra on Pat Cummins vs Virat Kohli contest
Aakash Chopra gave a detailed analysis of how The Oval is different from Indian Pitches and will have the pace and bounce. Fast-Pace bowlers will get the help of the fast pitch to get quick wickets in the game.
“Cummins has come especially for Kohli on numerous occasions and places a fielder at gully or third slip, and Usman Khawaja once took a flying catch. I’m keen to see that rivalry because this pitch won’t be the same as India’s when balls used to come slowly and batters played it comfortably. There will be pace and bounce, so that’s the contest to watch out for,”
