  1. Best Test Team Can't Be Decided Over One Game, Says Virat Kohli India captain Virat Kohli has said that he doesn’t think deciding the best Test team in the world with a one-off World Test Championship final is okay, instead insisting there should be a three-match series as well to decide the winner. His comments came after India lost to New Zealand by 8 wickets in the inaugural edition of the ICC WTC final in Southampton. Image Source by Twitter

  2. “I’m not in absolute agreement of deciding the best Test team in the world over one game, to be honest. It can’t just be pressure applied over two days, and you’re not a good side. It definitely has to be worked in the future. Over three matches, there are ups and downs, there are chances to rectify mistakes… So we’re not too bothered by this result,” he said. He continued: “If you saw the way the game went… why wouldn’t you want to see three Tests? Historically, all the great series you’ve seen in Tests, you remember them over 3 or 5 matches. This definitely has to be brought in. I’m not saying just because we’re not on the winning side."

Meanwhile, India’s head coach Ravi Shastri had earlier said this that the best-of-three final should take place to decide the winner at the end of the WTC’s two-year cycle. However, the WTC was launched in 2019 to make it a priority, following the successes of the T20 and 50-over World Cups as well.

  3. Meanwhile, Kane Williamson led New Zealand started the inaugural WTC Final as favourites after their two-match Test series win by 1-0 against England as well. On the other hand, Team India had last played in the longer format against England at home earlier this year. They will play a five-match Test series against England in August as well.
