“We cannot take things lightly. Yes, we have quality spinners who can change things around just like that, but that does not give us the guarantee that we are going to win the Test or roll them over in one session. We have got to keep the discipline going.”

English conditions would bring in quite different team configurations for both sides, and as Rohit agreed, there is plenty of recent experience for India and Australia in the northern hemisphere.

Should Australia qualify, Scott Boland will certainly be a strong contender for inclusion with his style ideally suited to seaming surfaces and the Dukes ball. Boland would be the most likely change to the Australian bowling lineup for Indore should Todd Murphy not shake off some side soreness that has lingered since Delhi.

“I don’t think England is going to qualify, so both teams who are going to play the final will be neutral teams,” Rohit said.

“It’s going to be exciting. There’s no home advantage, no conditions advantage. You know India has played a lot of cricket in England over the last couple of years. Australia have also played a lot of cricket there.

“Sri Lanka and South Africa are also in the mix. They probably have played a lot of cricket there as well. It’s not going to be alien conditions as such who’ll make the final. It’ll be a good contest between the two teams, whoever those teams are.”
