The upcoming World Test Championship final against India has Australian pace bowlers buzzing – and it’s not just about the match itself. A playful conversation amongst the team has centered around a rather impressive nickname earned by Josh Hazlewood: ‘Hazel God’.

This moniker, bestowed by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) fans, is a testament to Hazlewood’s outstanding IPL season. His impressive 22 wickets have cemented his place as a force to be reckoned with, sparking debate about his potential inclusion in the starting XI for the crucial WTC final.

With Scott Boland’s position potentially on the line, the ‘Hazel God’ nickname adds an intriguing layer to the pre-match speculation. Will the RCB fans’ adoration translate to a starting spot in the biggest Test match of the year? Only time will tell.
