\u201cI personally want Alcaraz to win because I feel that the way he plays is very much like how we play,\u201d Kishan said in a video released by BCCI on X. \u201cHe\u2019s a bit quick. Whenever there\u2019s a gap, he tries to hit it. He doesn\u2019t look\u2026 he doesn\u2019t show that much patience,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kishan believes Alcaraz\u2019s natural aggression and willingness to seize opportunities make him an exciting prospect in big matches, even against a seasoned champion like Djokovic. He also said that Alcaraz is aiming for his first Aus Open title, so he should win it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSo that is with Alcaraz. It\u2019s very important for Alcaraz to win because he\u2019ll have his first Australian Open. So I am with Carlito,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Contrary to Kishan, India's fast bowler Arshdeep Singh wants Djokovic to win the title clash. \"I am supporting Iceman (Djokovic),\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Australian Open final sets up a high-stakes clash between two generations, with Alcaraz and Djokovic both chasing a historic milestone of their own.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Victory in Melbourne would see the 22-year-old Spaniard complete a rare career Grand Slam, having already won the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. He will also become the youngest man ever to achieve this feat, eclipsing the record held by his compatriot Rafael Nadal, who completed the set at 24.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Meanwhile, Kishan and Arshdeep were both the standout performers for India in the fifth T20I played at Greenfield Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Saturday. While Kishan played a magnificent knock of 103 runs, Arshdeep took a five-wicket haul, which helped India secure a 46-run win against New Zealand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
