Team India will take field against New Zealand in the WTC final at Southampton.
The Indian skipper Virat Kohli in his recent interaction with Star Sports talked about how he is thinking about this being just another Test match with a bit more value to it.
“This is just a game that has a bit more value added to it, but every Test has had the same value over the last few years which is why we're ranked highly. Test cricket tests your grit and your resolve. You have to wake up and have the belief and determination to turn up and turn things around every day of the Test, how to come back from a tough situation and hang in there. It's a metaphor for life,” Kohli said.

The right-hand stylish middle-order batsman then talked about how reaching here has been a long process with team playing really good cricket in last 4-5 years and having fans is only fair considering it is the final of an ICC tournament.
“We are so delighted that we are in the final, we feel we have earned our place and belong where we are. It's a culmination of the toil over the last 4-5 years. We have identified these players and condensed it down, and for me as a captain and for us as a team, it's not just good cricket over 6 months, but over the last 5 years,” the 31-year-old said.
“We are happy some spectators are going to watch, which is justice for something of this magnitude because a big final without spectators would have been anticlimactic,” he added.
Thus, it will be really exciting to see when Team India takes field against New Zealand in this epic Test match at Southampton which will decide who becomes the World Test Champion.
