WORLD TEST CHAMPIONSHIP !!

As the inaugural edition of the World Test Championship grows close , the world awaits the new king . It has been a culmination of two whole years of men dressed in white battling it out over 5 days at a time , all leading to the finals in The Rose Bowl , Southampton , where India faces New Zealand . On paper , New Zealand seem to hold more aces , with them just having wrapped up England in Edgbaston , Birmingham while India has not played a full test match in months . Not to mention the swing friendly pitch which New Zealand players revel in . Special mention to Tim Southee and Trent Boult , 2 brilliant pacers for the Kiwis , whose performance alone can swing the game in their favour .

India on the other hand , while sending in an equally strong squad ( if not stronger ) has to try their best to overcome their limitations and lack of practice , especially as they are staying on for a series against England in July.

Whatever the result , if weather permits , it is sure to be a banger of a match , and a must watch for all cricket lovers around the globe .
