India will take on Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final at The Oval in London, England from June 7 (Wednesday) to June 11 (Sunday).
Before the game, much of the discussion has been about India's bowling attack, with some such as Lance Klusener suggesting India's pacers are crucial to their success.
However, batting legend Sachin Tendulkar suggested that track at the Oval will be more beneficial to spinners.

'Oval is a good venue for India'
As per Tendulkar, while the track may not always help the ball turn too much, the overcast conditions could help the bowlers manipulate the ball's direction in the air.
"The Indian team will be happy that they are playing at the Oval. The nature of the Oval pitch is such that it assists the spinners as the match goes on. So, spinners will come into play a little bit. It need not be always a turning track as sometimes the spinners rely a lot on the bounce, sometimes that little bit of zip that they get off the pitch, also on the overhead conditions and it depends a lot on the shiny side of the ball... If they are able to get that drift, they can make the ball talk in the air without the pitch coming into play. So, Oval is going to be good venue for India," said Tendulkar ahead of the WTC Final
