Kane-Williamson
Kane Williamson feels that the one-off final provides an exciting set-up but can never depict an entire picture about how formidable Team India is. The Kiwis defeated India by eight wickets in the maiden ICC World Test Championship final at Southampton. Kane Williamson scored an unbeaten half-century in a modest 139-run chase. As a result, New Zealand has taken home the winning prize money of $1.60 million (approximately Rs 11.86 crore) and the ICC Test mace for the first time in the game's history. NZ has also consolidated its position at the top of the ICC Test team rankings after the iconic win.
All three results were possible: Kane Williamson
Kane Williamson has no doubt that the current Indian cricket team will go on to win many more matches in the future. The New Zealand skipper termed the pace unit as the best ever. He also praised the spinners and the star-studded Indian batting line-up. Kane Williamson felt that all three results were possible. However, everyone perhaps felt that with not enough time, a draw looked like the most imminent result.
The Black Caps skipper also praised his teammate Kyle Jamieson’s efforts. The tall and lanky pacer picked up seven wickets. This also included a five-wicket haul. He claimed some big wickets including Virat Kohli twice. Kyle Jamieson was named the man of the match in the just-concluded ICC WTC final. He has dismissed the best batsmen in his young career thus far with his extra pace, bounce and accuracy.
Kyle Jamieson was the difference between India and New Zealand in the ICC World Test Championship final. In the first innings, with team India laying the solid groundwork to reach 146/3, Kyle Jamieson troubled their innings. He managed to dismiss Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant. In eight Test matches so far, Kyle Jamieson claimed 5 five-wicket hauls. Kane Williamson and the team enjoyed the most incredible success in their cricket history.
The first cycle of the ICC WTC concluded with team India ending second best despite dominating the league stage of the tournament. The new WTC cycle will begin for the Indian team with the 5-match Test series against England, starting August 04.
